  • Participants should stay the full period of the home stay and the camp.
  • Students have to be 17 years of age on July 1 in the year of participation and no older than 20.
  • We accept boys and girls.
  • It is standard practice to split people of the same nationality over different camps.
  • The candidate may give his/her preference for a certain camp location, but the final choice is up to the Dutch Lions Youth Exchange Committee. We are sure that the youngsters will have a great time.

Country presentations
At camp country presentations will be held in the evenings. All campers have to introduce their own country and culture in the form of a short presentation with photo’s. They have to prepare this before leaving for Holland, and take it with them on an Usb stick or CD-Rom.

Clothing advise: basics are swimming suit, warm sweater, and a raincoat. The weather changes a lot in our country.

We hope that your students will have a great time in the Netherlands.
