Week 3: JULY 16-24 2022

Power4Teens Inc - SWISS Experience Trip

Zug, Switzerland Summer 2022

This experience will be accepting a maximum of 10 high-school girls (age 14-17) from Toronto. We will be travelling to Zug, Switzerland (a beautiful town nestled between Zurich and Luzern). Each teen will have the opportunity to experience Switzerland while living with an expatriate family (fluent in English, although not necessarily first language). They will learn first hand the joys and challenges of making global moves from their teen counterparts. They will learn many of the skills we teach at Power4Teens by living with a family that approaches change and challenge with an open mind and has embraced the meaning of adaptability. They will learn first-hand all that Zug (and the surrounding areas) has to offer by exploring the cities of Luzern & Zurich, hiking local mountains, water sports on Zugersee lake, taking local transit and visiting special places of interest. Our hope and idea of living with a host family is to bring the world closer together, by creating lifelong relationships with other teens and their families for the ultimate experience of a lifetime!


Our multi-activity schedule will run Monday to Friday 9:30- 4:30pm with opportunities to meet as a group throughout the week. Each traveller will have the opportunity for free time and to spend time with their host family. Travellers will be hosted by families with an equivalent age child where possible. All meals and excursions are included, airfare is not included. 


Shyanne McPherson and Charlie Page will be facilitating the program with experienced local guides to provide greater in-depth knowledge of the area and culture.

Applications and acceptance onto the program is based on a first come basis and suitability for the experience.

  • Must be in Grade 9 – 11 (14-17yrs)
  • Must be intermediate to advanced fitness level (will be required for hiking, and site seeing around the city on foot)
  • Must submit an introduction video of the applicant and their family to be selected into program (we will do our very best to pair all teens up by age, personalities and common interests)
  • Must have a positive attitude, open to trying new things, enthusiastic about travel and meeting new friends
  • Must be fully vaccinated and 2nd vaccine received at least 14-days prior to our dates of travel
  • Must adhere to the guidelines regarding COVID-19 testing prior to flight to ZRH and return

This video is for us to get to know you and understand why you would like to be considered for this program. The video should  include:

  • Any special accommodations you may have so the host family can prepare (eg. food allergies, pet allergies or challenges with being away from home etc.)
  • A brief introduction to your family, including pets!

This video does not need to be professional quality, just something fun to show us your authentic self, your interests, likes and dislikes and your character traits!
