Preparation Time Flies bye!! Begin getting ready NOW! Read about Preparations you should make for the trip!

• Purchase your air ticket by April! Be certain to check the dates and times and place of departure to ensure that all are correct. If you wish TWI to purchase your ticket, let us know by 1 March 2008.

• 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. 

 

The camp experience is extremely rewarding but exhausting. Be prepared to be tired. 

• 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  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  needs help in getting up the hills.
  
   
  
  

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

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

  Modern conveniences might not be found in some of the areas we visit.
