In the morning, we will get to know each other with a variety of super games and
songs. Today we will put our superhero skills to the test during our superhero
adventure trail around Zurich. We will be training our eyesight, super hearing, super
speed, strength and agility. Riddle solving, treasure hunting, jumping, running and

superhero puppets and design our very own superhero mask. Wow! What a super
start to this Superhero Camp!

After our superhero warm up we will get to know batman and catwoman. We will call
batman to the rescue as the peace at Academicus will have been interrupted by
catwoman. We will make our own Gotham City Batman calling signs as well as
design our own superhero shields. Today we will put our super searching skills to the
test while looking for wild cats and other animals in the Wildnispark. A sausage
sizzle also awaits us as well as more fun and games outdoors and indoors.
Wednesday: Captain America, Wonder Woman, a super arena and a splash pool
We already have our own mask and shield, and today we will add our own cape.
Design your own cape and see how you start to feel like a real superhero. We will be
putting all our newly acquired superhero skills to the test at the track and field arena,
while practicing running, jumping and shield throwing – just like Captain America.
After all these superhero sports we will cool down at our favourite splash pool, while
reading stories about Captain America and Wonder Woman.
Thursday: Spider-Man, Spider-Girl, how to design, and climb
Get ready to add some super cuffs to your superhero outfit! Today is our 4 th day of
our superhero camp and we have already acquired amazing skills! Our outfits are
almost ready as well. Masks, shields, capes and now cuffs! Today we will find out
how Spider-Man became Spider-Man and learn some interesting facts about spiders.
These creatures are meticulous designers, and today we will also learn about design
at the Museum für Gestaltung, after which we will turn into spider/men and
spider/girls and practice our climbing skills at one of our favourite playgrounds. Back
at Academicus we will make superhero frames and play more games.
Friday: A Superhero Party and an Indoor Playground
It is Friday today and our superhero outfits are ready! Come in clothes which will
match your superhero style as today we will be presenting ourselves and our
superpowers! We will throw a superhero party and have a superhero catwalk. After a
morning of fun and games, we will head out to an indoor playground to show off our
newly acquired superhero skills. Since this is our last day, each superhero will be
presented with a medal for their bravery and special achievements.

"Switzerland & its´ neighbours Camp"
04.08-08.08.2025 // 11.08-15.08.2025
Monday: Switzerland – the tiny but beautiful alpine country & Landesmuseum
Grüezi! Today our camp begins with a loud grüezi as today is all about Switzerland!
We will play a variety of fun games to get to know each other, while learning about
Switzerland and its symbols. Who is Heidi? Does the rescue dog really exist? Where
is the Toblerone Mountain? What is an Edelweis? Watches, cheese and chocolate?
Yes please! Join us for this first day of discovery and an adventure in the
Landesmuseum and around Zurich!
Tuesday: Germany – the most populous neighbour & the Rheinfalls
Guten Tag! On our second day of camp, we get to learn about Germany. What is it
famous for? You are right, castles and gingerbread hearts! Today we will nearly visit
our neighbour, Germany, as we will head to the Rheinfalls to experience the roar of
600 cubic metres of water falling every second. We will learn about the infamous
Struwwelpeter and why you should look where you are walking, and make sure to
comb your hair and cut your nails. We will of course, also visit some playgrounds
and make amazing crafts to take home.
Wednesday: France – the biggest neighbour & the Kunsthaus
Bonjour! Today is about France, so we will be making French Poodle crafts, and
building Eiffel Towers. France is home to some famous museums including the
Louvre and many famous artists come from France, like Claude Monet. Hence,
today we will pay a visit to our favourite Kunsthaus to see the famous “Water Lilies”
painted by Monet, as well as explore other art pieces, and visit a stunning light
installation. As always more fun and learning indoors and outdoors still awaits us!
Thursday: Austria – the most musical neighbour & the Lenzburg Castle
Grüss Gott! The Hills are alive with the sound of music when you think about Austria!
Today will be our most musical day, as we will discover the beauty of classical music
and some famous Austrian composers like Mozart and Beethoven. Austria is home
to many stunning palaces. Today we will become princesses and princes at our
favourite Lenzburg Castle. And what is a castle without a dragon? We will create our
own dragons breathing fire to take home, as well. As always more fun and games
also await us.
Friday: Italy – the yummiest neighbour
Ciao! We cannot believe that today is our last camp day! Today will be all about Italy,
the Colosseum, the leaning tower of Piza, pizza and gelato. Fun crafts await us
today again as well as our favourite indoor playground. We will finish our day with a
yummy gelato, and more games indoors and outdoors.
Oh, and let’s not forget about the smallest neighbour Lichtenstein.
