Transportation : 

 

 

 

  • Purchase your air ticket in April! Be certain to check the dates and times and place of departure to ensure that all are correct.

 

  • Our  team car and van will be packed with team members and with baggage. We take 3 interpreters. Our car carries 5 persons. We will be packed very tight. 

 

  • Each team member is asked to carry two bags of camp supplies on the plane to Bosnia. This limits the team member to a carry-on bag for his/her personal gear. 

 

 

We stress  that the camp experience is extremely rewarding but exhausting. Be prepared to be exhausted. 

 

 

  •   We have a great time, but you must be in good physical condition and  up to the challenge. Start getting in shape now!  Walking and daily physical exercise are a must.

  • Camp team volunteers interact with the children and teachers from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Be prepared for a tough daily schedule followed by long trips to the next location.

  •   Lunch time is spent with the children and there are no breaks during the day. You will eat at the schools and at the orphanages. 

 

 

  •   Most  camps will be one-day in length followed by travel to the next town. There is little time to rest between camps. 

 

  • Transportation is without air conditioning.  We hope the van does not break-down, but we know the van will require frequent rest stops and will need help in getting up the hills.

     

 

  • Accommodations will be with widows in a home environment; in very small hotels; or at the orphanages. 

 

  • Meals will be taken at local cafe's, restaurants or homes. 

 

 

  • Modern conveniences we  take for granted at home might not be found in some of the areas we visit.


  • The information  you provide  us  on the application is important part in  determining how we consider using you in our camp program. 
     

 

 

  • Our teams need to practice  group tasks.  Training days when we make our decisions on  the leaders role in the camps will be held  when we arrive in the Balkans.
     

 

  • Each individual should know about our administrative details; some Balkan political and cultural differences, and the cultural opportunities we offer. We try to put as much information as possible on this web site. 

 

Coordination: We  update information on the project activities on this Web Site, www.TWI4Kids.org.  Click on  your project. 

 

 

  • Information will be linked from the project  page. We  use e-mail as our primary way of corresponding with you.

 We completed wonderful projects in Bosnia,  Serbia, Kosovo and in Montenegro this summer. Check out our links on what a typical project day will look like as well as what to take with you and what to expect in the Balkans.
