The foundation aims to operate and expand the Campo Enrico Pestalozzi youth camp in Arcegno (Ticino) as a non-profit organization, primarily intended to be a home for the youth of Switzerland. Furthermore, the youth camp serves schools, youth welfare, adult education and similar purposes. In memory of the founder of the youth camp, the foundation operates the Casa Julius Kaiser in Campo Pestalozzi as a holiday accommodation for people with disabilities and their caregivers. The house primarily serves groups of physically and/or mentally disabled children, adolescents and adults.
