Description

Digital Detox Camp for teenagers in the Alps

Bern

Jugendliche Camp in den Alpen für Digitalen Detox

Going offline – and loving it

From July 23 to 25, 2027, trade screen time for real-life experiences in the mountains. This camp is designed specifically for teenagers and young adults aged 15 to 25 and is conducted in German.

For three days, you’ll stay with the group in a traditional chalet in the Gastlosen mountains, with no electricity and no Wi-Fi. Instead, you’ll have campfires, fresh mountain air, new friendships, and plenty of time to breathe easy.

What to expect

We’ll cook together over the fire, hike through the Alps, practice yoga and breathing exercises, and have open conversations about how social media, gaming, and messaging shape our daily lives. In our workshops, you’ll discover how to use your smartphone in a way that benefits you rather than stressing you out.

  • 2 nights' accommodation
  • 3 nutritious meals per day
  • Water, tea, and coffee throughout the day
  • Daily yoga, pranayama, or meditation sessions

  • Guided nature hikes

Who is leading the event?

I spent over ten years working in marketing, PR, advertising, and lobbying. My job was to get people to like, share, and scroll more so that we could sell them more products. At home, I found myself scrolling endlessly through my own feeds until I realized: I was falling into the very trap I was setting for others.

The wake-up call came with the birth of my son, when the internet bombarded me with baby advertisements. I deleted my social media accounts, took control of my notifications and messages, and dove into research on the effects of smartphones on the brain and psyche. Day by day, I became calmer, more present, and more human again.
