  • Rates fairly calculated :


Created in 1992 by passionate individuals, Objectif Sciences International (O.S.I.) is a non-profit NGO, which was quickly recognized as one of general interest.
The commited and formative nature of our science camps offered for children, teenagers, family and adults makes of Objectif Sciences International an organizer and promoter of Solidarity Science and Participatory Reasearch Camps, one of our feature being able welcome participants from all age groups while complying to the top standards of quality.

This is why OSI has been officialy recognized as a International NGO, and has been given the Special Consultative Status to the United Nations (ECOSOC).




These Solidarity and Participatory Science camps [1], offered during the Science Camps season, ask for a high mobilization of our teams at all the different levels (Scientific Instructors, Pedagogic and Scientific managers , advisers, engineering, design time and the constant updates of our actions) which allows us to bring our projects to the highest level of pedagogic and scientific content, aswell as on the behavioral plan (peace education, non violant education, social ecology, cooperation...).

And all of that activity only in the most exceptional of destinations, close to you or far away, often surrounded by nothing but the one and only mother Nature.

This neccessitate a fair calcul of our costs. When calculating the costs of each camp, the NGO headquarters look after giving all the necessary means to every sollicited contributor, while never going over the neccesary purse, enabling us to offer camps with cost of participation staying at a fair and reasonable price .

Nevertheless, we offer camps of the highest logistic, pedagogic, scientific and environemental quality , in a way that is easily accessible to all and everyone, wich is why it is necessary for us to keep our teams budgets at a certain price point to ensure we always maintain the quality of our stays.

Of course, we have to compare it to something comparable:

multi-activity camos with light supervision Specialized camps with light supervision Specialized Camps easily accessible to all and with heavy supervision
Examples in sports Multisports Camp Sport Camp High Level Sport Internship
Price : 400 - 850 € / week Price : 650 - 1’000 € / week Price : 1’000 - 2’000 € / week
Examples in International Camps Foreign Language Camp French Summre Camp Abroad International camps with at least 10 nationalities represented
Price : 600 - 950 € / week Price : 1’200 - 1’600 € / week Price : 1’400 - 1’800 € / week
Examples in Sciences >>> Summer camp with claimed scientifics activities (ocasional science discovery activities) Specialized Science Camp (without real research International and Scientific camps by OSI,
Scientific Trips OSI,
Discovery Classes OSI,
Imagination for the Kids, Involvment for the Teenagers, Commitment for the Adults...
Price : 450 - 900 € / week Price : 700 - 1’500 € / week Price : 600 ! - 1’300 € / week depending on your plans and wishes

If we can offer our camps at a rate that is lower than, per say, a horse riding or a motorcycle camp, it is thanks to you all ; as the numbers of participants who come back every year is getting bigger and bigger, we are able year by year to become less and less expensive!
Contact us !

The range of price is subject to the different dates , the destinations, but also on yearly opportunities. As of now, we have not been able to make an ergonomic tab of all the dates and prices wich is user-friendly, even for beginner, and one might miss on an opportunity that corresponds to them. That is why we keep contact by phone as our main mean of interraction, as we can precisely inform you about all the planned camps for the next 24 months to come.

  • Benefit Tax Deductions:

As our stays fall under the solidarity leave category, and as every donations benefiting a recognized General Interest Organization, expenses coming from the stay aswell as transportation costs can be deducted from your taxes !
This will depend on the usual scale of your country of residency - in every country !

As an example, in France, the deduction is equal to 66% of the amount of the donation, corresponding to a maximum of 20% of taxable income. When the amount is superior than 20% of the taxable income, the excess may be carried forward for 5 years. A two week stay with a price of 2450€ comes down to 817€ after tax deductions ! Call us to get more specific informations on your case.

Premium quality accesible to all and everyone !

Accessible to all : even if you are not taxable, you come under another help scheme = Contact us !

In Switzerland, the amount is deductible on the Net taxable revenue, meaning on the taxable revenue minus all the other deductible expenses (proffesionnal expenses, alimony...). Depending on the canton, the amount is, or is not capped. In Geneva, for example, if you pay 19% of taxes, the amount corresponding to your tax deduction will be of 19% .

In Belgium, in Spain,in the United States of America, etc, tax deductions calculus may differ, but its will always be in your advantage.

These advantageous conditions enable an easier access to our high quality stays aswell as being rewarding to your charitable actions.

  • You do not pay taxes ?

If that is the case, contact us!
we will provide you with the right amount depending on the dates and availablity.

If you are planning to organize a solidarity science trip that is even more ambitious, we are also able to help finance your departure.

To our knowledge, our NGO is also the only one that still offers for participants to pay in a material or services form. It is worth mentionning because every year, dozens of young girls and boys, as well as teenagers and adult go on scientific trips by these means.

Moreover, Objectif Science International has created a social fund named GAIA (Gaia being the name generaly accepted by the scientific community when reffering to the earth as one own entity) allowing people with low income to still participate in our Science Camps. The fund adapts to all types of revenues, so no one is left behind!

But also :

  • Subscriptions :You are passionate about one of the camps from our catalogue but it is not planned for the dates you wanted? Maybe other people are in the same situations; in that case, if at least 15 people are interested we can open a new camp for these new specific dates, so contact us!

  • Adults who wishes to participate in a Solidarity Science camps ARE NOT just numbers in a shops cart, we consider each and everyone!
  • Parents who entrust us with their children have oral and written exchanges concerning their needs, projects, wishes and preconizations ( allergies, disabilities, diets, educational preferences)
