We offer you a PARTNER-PATROL (PP) that will help you before, during and after the camp! They will provide all the information you need in solving transport/equipment/language or any other problems and make sure you enjoy the event as much as we do! How to get one? Nothing easier than this! During the application procedure just make sure you tick “I’d love to have Partner-Patrol” box. The rest is up to us!
