In an extraordinary educational moment, participants at the Institut Montana Zugerberg 2025 Summer Camp experienced a unique opportunity to interview Hollywood actor and comedian Jason Stuart, known for his roles in Becoming Karl Lagerfeld et It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. This live, globally streamed event was a highlight of the Radio M workshop, expertly led by alumnus and renowned US radio broadcaster Cary Harrison. Under his mentorship, students from diverse international backgrounds, including Lithuania, Ukraine, Croatia, the United States, and China, honed their skills in confident public speaking, formulating meaningful questions, and engaging in clear, articulate discussion. The workshop's culmination was not just a conversation but a demonstration of the profound confidence and poise the teens developed, showcasing the camp's commitment to transformative, real-world learning experiences.
Beyond the Hollywood interview, the two-week camp from July 13 to 26 offered a rich blend of academic and recreational pursuits. Mornings were dedicated to intensive German or English language classes, while afternoons were filled with a diverse array of activities. These included creative workshops like science experiments and ice cream making, alongside outdoor sports such as tennis, dodgeball, and badminton. The program featured exciting excursions to iconic Swiss destinations like Lucerne, the Seilpark Rigi adventure park, the Alpamare Waterpark, and the Swiss Museum of Transportation. Evenings provided relaxation and community bonding through spa nights, sleepovers, and barbecue dinners. The camp concluded with a grand farewell celebration where students presented performances, watched video highlights, and received awards. The event's success and unique atmosphere were notable enough to attract coverage from the local Zuger Zeitung newspaper, further highlighting its impact.
