HELLO AND

WELCOME TO THE

FIRST EVER ISSUE

OF KIDS-ZONE

This inaugural issue is focussed on the long Summer holidays - we have started with THE DIRECTORY

of Summer Camps for 2024. You can search by age and activity and then you can see what weeks it

runs, times, price & location at a glance. We have a BUCKET LIST trip to Interlaken with many top

tips & some great beaches to check out for great SUMMER VIBES. We also support the opportunity

to BRING SUNSHINE to others by helping out at The Lost Food Project.

We want to keep adding more of the activities you love. So please let us know if we have missed

one of your favourites. Providers can also get in touch to market their business – there are various

options available. Take a look at the back-page to know more.

All enquiries and feedback: info@kids-zone.ch

ALL INVITED

You know when you move to a new

place and you have no idea where to

find anything or find out anything. Well

I got here a year and a half ago and I

still feel that way. So in my quest to

find out what options there are for kids

activities in the area – I noticed a bit of

a gap. A one-stop listings site where

you can see everything that is on

offer….

That is why I decided to create

KIDS-ZONE.CH
