STUDENTS AND YOUNG PEOPLE GROUP TOURS FOR SUMMER 2003
These youth activity tours are alike -
two days on a camp site (list of camp sites' location below), when tourists prepare for hiking, or rafting, or boat riding, etc. During this time they learn how to set tents, how to cook meals on fire, how to use special equipment, etc. under the guidance of an experienced instructor (Russian and English speaking).
After that they undertake the tour (hiking, boating, rafting, cycling, yachting, etc.), for 6-10 days.
After the tour the group rests on the same (or other) camp site. They go sightseeing, or just have time at leisure - swim, sun bathe, go to the forest, etc. as these camps are located in picturesque Belarusan places near lakes, rivers, forests.
