    About Green Camp

    Tuition fees are 5,200 CHF for the 10-day program.

    The SUMAS Green Camp is an international programme combining travel, culture, sustainability workshops, and real-world industry encounters. Booked by high schools for their students, it runs as a 5- or 10-day camp through two cities that are rewriting what responsible business looks like – Milan's circular fashion scene and Geneva's global sustainability institutions.

    Students leave with more than a certificate — a network, a new way of seeing systems, and, for those who go on to study at SUMAS, a fully refunded pathway into a bachelor's degree.

    Sustainability Management School, known as SUMAS, is the first business school in the world to focus entirely on sustainability. You will join a diverse community where nine out of ten students come from abroad. International students choose this school for its small class sizes and direct access to industry experts. The school holds accreditation from ACBSP, which ensures your business degree meets global professional standards. You will study in a setting that prioritizes ethical leadership and environmental responsibility over traditional profit-only models.

    The curriculum focuses on business administration, finance, and innovation, all through the lens of sustainable development. You can choose specialized programs in luxury management, tourism, or sustainable fashion. All courses are taught in English by professors who work in the corporate world. You will take part in research projects that solve real environmental challenges for partner companies. The school also offers dual degree options that combine Swiss academic rigor with international business perspectives.

    The campus sits in Gland, a quiet town located between Geneva and Lausanne. You will study right next to the headquarters of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and the WWF. This location puts you within reach of many global NGOs and multinational firms for internships. Outside of class, you can join the Student Council or participate in local clean-up initiatives. The nearby Lake Geneva and the Alps offer you space for hiking, skiing, and water sports throughout the year.
