International Summer Camp 11-18 August 2024
Every summer, since 1984, the Order of Malta organizes a joyful holiday camp for around 500 young people from 18 to 35 years old with disabilities and their volunteer helpers of 25 different countries in Europe and beyond.
This year, between the 11th to the 18th August, Switzerland and Liechtenstein will be hosting guests and volunteers in Wallis, in the Sport Resort Center in Fiesch for the 39th Malta Camp.
It will be an unforgettable experience of cohesion beyond boundaries for all young guests and volunteers with amazing possibilities for activities such as a visit of Zermatt, sports games and spiritual gatherings.
During the week, they are not only serving their guests but are also there to become friends, in order to share extraordinary moments together. These are not only holidays for guests but it will also be a holiday for all participants.
Being able to meet so many different people in a week is rare. 25 countries, around 500 unique people with their own backgrounds is something that happens once in a lifetime. Be ready to taste specialties of each country, discuss about many subjects, pray in all languages, and party with everyone!
Sports, parties, and activities will go along with holy masses, and a silent night to elevate your body but also our spirits. Fraternity and faith are very important for the Order of Malta in order to fulfill its mission in the world of today.
The Maltese contingent, which departed Malta early this morning, consisting of 20 helpers and guests, is led by Team Leader Julia Micallef, assisted by Rachel Barthet.
Mgr Claude Portelli is the Spiritual Director.
Special thanks go to Ms Lisa Borg from KM Malta Airlines for her kind help during the reservations and checking in of the team..
