SILC Academy offers a wide range of activities for the campers. The published programme is for guidance and changes might occur for logistic or meteorological reasons.

Force Majeure

In case of force majeure, the Parents acknowledge that the inability to provide the services is not attributable to SILC Academy so that SILC Academy is not due to provide any reimbursement, even partial. However, SILC Academy is offering the option to defer to next year’s camp period without penalty.
