our team

Vincent is a qualified teacher, responsible for organising and scheduling all tasks and activities of our counsellors. He uses a multi-level recruitment process to choose our counsellors and carries out personal interviews with those shortlisted. Counsellors must be able to demonstrate a sense of responsibility, social competence and a flair for working with children, before they are offered training for the role of "young austria" camp counsellor. Many of our over 150 counsellors have worked for ya! CAMPS for many years, seeing their role less as a job and more as a passion.

Sophie is in charge of the booking administration, the customer centre with all the important documents for the trip and is involved in the creative process of further developing our camps. On the phone and via email, she answers your questions and ensures that every concern is taken seriously and treated with the utmost attention. Her studies in tourism management and several years of experience as a receptionist in a youth hotel have prepared her perfectly for the work at the young austria camps.

During her studies Anna has discovered her passion for nature and mountains and especially the combination of both with pedagogical activities! Based on her further education as a wilderness and adventure pedagogue and several years of practical work in this field, she now brings this experience to our camps. Among other things, she is responsible for the planning and organization of the programs.

Denise has been working as a supervisor at our young austria camps since 2020. In order to better combine practice and theory, Denise is now also on board with our office team. She tries to bring in her experiences from the summer as well as from her practice as a language teacher for the further development of the camps, so that the next summers will again be an unforgettable time for the children and young people as well as for the counsellors and teachers.

young austria arbeitet eng mit der deutschen und österreichischen Bahn zusammen. Seit Jahrzehnten bringen wir unsere Campsteilnehmer:innen sicher von A nach B. Ebenfalls bieten wir einen umfangreichen Flughafen-Service in München an. Das erfordert effiziente Planung, Flexibilität und ein hervorragendes Team. Florian wählt persönlich rund 100 Reisebetreuer:innen aus und schult sie für ihren Reisebetreuungseinsatz.

Alice is an experienced mountaineer, certified sports scientist and Alpine educator. Thanks to her expert knowledge and personal experience she knows exactly what safety entails. Alice chooses all of our external sports partners and checks their equipment, their professionalism when dealing with our participants and requires evidence of licences and insurance. She doesn‘t miss a thing – no one can pull the wool over her eyes when it comes to sport.
