Our Mission
Unlocking the leadership potential of young people aged 13 to 17, so that they can transform their world through the values of sport and community engagement.
Your adventure starts here
Offering during school holidays, our camps provide teenagers aged 13 to 17 with an immersive experience combining sport, culture, civic engagement and environmental awareness.
Camps are bilingual English - French and welcome teenagers of all nationalities.
Between mountains and ocean, each trip combines multi-sport activities, cultural discoveries, community service, and opportunities to interact with experts, elite athletes, and inspiring personalities.
We are convinced that young people who open themselves up to other cultures, take on real challenges and explore their own way of guiding others are the ones who will build a more united and inspiring world.
Our camps in small group are designed to encourage this progress.
SPORTS AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
Our sporting and cultural activities are rooted in the local environment and traditions of each location. They are designed to suit everyone's physical abilities, so that each teenager can take on their own challenges, assert their strengths and exceed their limits.
PRACTICAL TRAINING
Thanks to the small group size, everyone has the opportunity to play an active role, exercice leadership and grow at their own pace. Supervised by experienced professionals and inspiring figures, young people develop in an environment that is demanding, inclusive and supportive. At YLA, there is a place for everyone.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Through civic initiatives carried out alongside local communities and associations committed to the common good or the environment, as well as during our annual intercultural trip, young people have the opportunity to take action and leave a positive mark on the world around them.
Our commitments
Each camps is designed by expert teams who accompany you every step of the way, from booking to your teenager's return home, ensuring their well-being, safety and fulfilment throughout the experience.
Parental support
Enrolling your child in a programme can be a difficult step. That's why we offer personalised support before, during and after their stay. A 24-hour service and regular updates allow you to stay connected to your teenager's experience.
Enhanced security
We ensure constant vigilance and rigorous supervision at every stage of the camp. While we encourage young people to push their limits and step outside their comfort zone, we remain uncompromising when it comes to risk management.
Our supervisors are trained in first aid and hold recognised certifications, guaranteeing safe and qualified support.
Accommodation
Each accommodation is carefully selected to offer a safe, comfortable and friendly environment. It becomes an essential base for rest, group cohesion and reflection after busy days. It ensures comfort and respects everyone's privacy and space.
Professional supervision
Our programmes are led by passionate professionals who are trained in working with teenagers. Their expertise, kindness and energy are central to the quality of the experience.
Local action
We work closely with local partners to ensure that our projects are useful, sustainable and meaningful. Their expertise in the field enables young people to experience authentic and responsible cultural immersion.
All-inclusive holiday
Our prices include everything except transport to the location: accommodation, meals, transfers, supervisory staff, excursions, teaching materials and medical cover where applicable. Our teams are at your service to help you with train or plane reservations
The YLA Organisation
SPORT LEADERSHIP ENVIRONNEMENT
YoungLeaders Adventures is a non-profit organisation founded by enthusiasts from a variety of backgrounds, from elite sports to finance, entrepreneurship to the arts, united by a common mission: to pass on strong values to the next generation through self-improvement, sports and concrete action.
SUSTAINABLE LEADERSHIP
Sustainable leadership is an approach to leadership that emphasises creating long-term value by integrating environmental, social and economic considerations. It is leadership rooted in the values of responsibility, respect and commitment. Being a responsible leader means learning to know yourself, listen, cooperate, make thoughtful decisions, inspire others by example and act with integrity. Sustainable leadership requires courage and personal initiative, collaboration and empathy. It is through concrete actions in the field, experimentation and pushing oneself beyond one's limits through sport that YLA is committed to bringing out the best in everyone and nurturing a new generation of leaders.
