Cura Children’s Inclusion Camp – Lauenen, Switzerland

The intent of this camp is to create the feeling of inclusion and fostering the sense of belonging for children with disabilities. Therefore, the group will be a mixture of four children with disabilities and three children without. The main focus is on fun, shared experiences and being together.

Our home for the 5 days is a small dormitory in Lauenen in the Bernese Alps. We are welcoming to our first camp in addition to the children a mixture of their parents and therapists.
Our campers are from the area of Basel and are being overseen by the brothers Noel & Gabriel Fanghänel, two longtime social workers, with a specialization in inclusion.

Inclusion is about offering the same activities to everyone, while providing support and services to accommodate children’s differences. With the help of the parents, social workers and therapists we have selected the activities, taking into consideration the unique strengths along with the challenges of every child. Everyone will discover that children with and without disabilities have more in common than what separates them.
