Rotary
Clubs and Districts in many countries organise Camps and Tours which last
from one to four weeks. The number of participants on each Camp or Tour
varies but typically there are between 12 and 20 and normally there will
only be one participant from each country. The preferred language is almost
always English. Many countries also run camps specifically for handicapped
students. For more information about the Camps and Tours which are currently
available and also to see details of those that have been organised in
the past few years please click here.
Below
you will find numerous comments written by young people from the UK, who
