United Summer Camp 2024


From Nora Steiner


"Peace Beyond Limits" is the motto of this year's United Summer Camp organised by the Coubertin meets Dunant Foundation. By sharing their passion for sport, young athletes from Afghanistan, Iran, China and South Korea will be brought together to overcome their cultural differences and find a unifying language through sport. The camp aims to promote international understanding. We will spend the first week at the talent campuses in Winterthur and Kreuzlingen and go on excursions to the OYM Cham and ON Zurich. In the second week we will train at the National Youth Sports Centre in Tenero. We have public events on the following dates
