Summer Activity clubs for children????

I was wondering if there are some summer activity clubs (in the school holidays) once or twice a week where children can go and spend their time while Moms are at work. My children are 4 and 9 (girls) and I was looking for some summer clubs like art class or etc etc

Ask at your local Gemeinde about FerienPass.

Milandia is excellent (run by Migros): http://www.milandia.ch/

Otherwise, the local Gemeinde often runs holiday activity programs

These are often based on the fact that kids can leave home and come home during working hours, ie: start 10am, end 12pm, start 1pm, end 3pm etc

Unfortunately, very few courses are based around realities of working parents. Switzerland is only slowly waking up to the fact the in some families both parents work full time.

My daughter did some courses with them last summer. They run courses in a few different areas, and I seem to remember some were like day camps, so all day (or most of the day) for a whole week.

My daughter's favourite was a magic class, which she did over three mornings. They have sport, horse riding, crafts etc etc

However I think your younger daughter will be too young to participate. Worth checking out for your older daughter, though.

This is an old post but the link is still valid.

Kids' Summer Camp in Aargau

These camps are run by the canton of Aargau. You have to check the eligibility based on the year of birth.

I also think ZIS offers summer camps, best to check directly if these are available in Baden.

There is http://www.kindercity.ch/angebote/feriencamp.html for the people living around Zurich. They have your children from 8am to 6pm. You can leave them at the train station and pick them from there. I contacted them when I was working in Zurich and they can communicate in English if needed.

There is plenty of activity for your kids:

In addition you local church will have some kind of youth organisation (Blauring, Cevi etc.), Pfadi (scouts), Pro Juventute (Ferienpasse countrywide).
