Over 100,000 children have come to our camps. You could even say that it has become routine – but every child is unique and special. For us and of course for you.

Summer Jobs
As a private youth travel operator, young austria has been organising trips for children and young people for almost 70 years.
A professional network of accommodation providers, we have been creating both sporting experiences and active adventures in Salzburgerland together with our 16 partner houses since 1950. The ya! summer camps form a small, but perfectly formed part of our company. Our goal is not only to ensure the company stays ahead of trends in the youth travel sector, but to offer holidays full of experiences for children and young people from all over the world to enjoy.
Young Austria regards itself as a holiday operator for children and young people between 6 and 17. We aim to promote the talents and strengths of our young guests and support them on what is often their first trip without parents.
When children and young people from all over the world come together, culture, religion and politics play no part. Our drive is to facilitate unforgettable experiences and promote friendships from all over the world.
We act as an extension of parental care and constantly ensure parents feel sure that their children are in safe hands. As holiday operators, we use a mixture of comprehensive communication, individual care and highly responsible actions, day in day out.
Teamwork
TEAMWORK is key for us. Although every counsellor has his or her own role in the team, everyone is responsible for making sure the camp runs smoothly. Depending upon the size of the camp, there are either one or two camp managers and several counsellors. The counsellor to participant ratio depends on the camp but is always between 1:5 and 1:8.
