Camp overview

Ipharra is a 34-metre catamaran sailboat built for offshore cruising. It is a secure, well-furnished, fast yacht which has 4 triple-berth cabins with bathrooms for the students and 3 cabins housing the 5 crew members.

Ipharra also has a classroom equipped with IT resources; a huge cockpit which serves as a dining room/meeting area and cinema; a reading room, and a flying deck used for marine observation, astronomy and sun bathing!

MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE WEEK

A unique opportunity to enjoy a superb adventure in the heart of the spectacular scenery of the Swiss Alps.

Discover trails in the Bernese and Wallis Alps, learn rock-climbing, cross obstacles, crevasses and glaciers. Work as part of a team while setting up and taking down a camp every day, and learn how to live in a community. Most nights are spent in mountain huts.

OFFSHORE NAVIGATION WEEK

Learn how to handle a large yacht, using both engine and sails; practice sailing manoeuvres

After this exciting week in the mountains, you will then fly from Geneva to join our 102-foot Sailing Yacht, Ipharra, for a splendid cruise; the islands you will visit change every year. Learn how to calculate routes using maps and electronic navigation equipment; appreciate the importance of teamwork and mutual respect; and, of course, relax and enjoy water sports.
