Autumn Camp 2026
A calm, creative alternative to busy holiday camps
Small group · Mornings in nature · One meaningful project · Screen-free
This autumn, we slow down and enjoy the season through nature, creativity and hands-on discovery.
Every morning, we head out to explore Zürich and its surroundings – walking, observing, collecting, and enjoying the changing autumn landscape.
Every afternoon, we return to Tiny Hands Creations for calm creative time, sensory play and our week-long lantern project.
A small group, two educators, and a gentle rhythm with plenty of space for children to explore at their own pace.

We believe in fostering a strong, transparent partnership with families, and keeping you meaningfully connected to your child’s experiences during our Autumn Camp. To ensure open and consistent communication, we offer the following channels:
Daily WhatsApp Updates:
A dedicated WhatsApp group will be created for the week’s participants. Here, we’ll share daily photos and short video clips capturing creative projects, outdoor adventures, and group interactions, offering a glimpse into your child’s day.
Individual Conversations at Pick-Up:
At pick-up time, our educators will be available for brief one-on-one chats with parents or caregivers to share individual insights. This may include your child’s mood and emotional well-being throughout the day, eating habits and food intake, any notable milestones, challenges, or personal highlights, observations on social interactions or learning progress, and more.
We deeply value your trust and are committed to creating a kind, respectful partnership throughout your child’s journey with us.
