Accommodation and Meals

The traveling element of this program is a camping trip at a combination of farm stays, caravan parks and national parks. This is a participatory tour where students will share duties such as meal preparation, clean up and the setting up of the camp. Two people share a 3-person tent at each location and students bring their own sleeping bags and travel pillows. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included when traveling.
