The Partner-Finding Tool
The camp is a mixture of hard work, competency building, intercultural learning and adventure.
The camp encourages deep and critical thinking about what is equitable and just, and what will minimize harm to our planet. The camp provides a unique opportunity to help people in need while exploring Jordan cultures, particularly Bedouins lifestyle, historical sites and shrines.
Camp’s activities include:
● Community Service at school, grassroots organizations, communities and refugee camps.
● Plant 1000 desert trees threatened with extinction.
● Interactive Workshops (topics: entrepreneurship, dialogue and intercultural citizenship).
● Interfaith visits to religious shrines and houses of worship (ancient Churches, Mount Nebo, Jesus Christ Mosque)
● Visit ancient ruins and historic sites including Petra, Wadi Rum, Crusader castle of Montreal and Jerash city.
● Experience the traditional Bedouin culture.
Costs of participation (Costs to be paid in Jordan):
We have worked hard to bring the cost to minimum; most of the work is done by volunteers without any compensation. Also, none from the hosting Bedouin community is paid. The idea behind the camp is to enable as many people as we can to have such a unique experience at affordable costs.
Total Cost is EURO 300 (Including transportation, food, accommodation for 7 days, Camel Riding, Wadi Rum jeep safari, and other voluntary activities’ cost).
Note: Participants coming from overseas are requested to buy the Jordan travel pass (available online www.jordanpass.jo) which cost JOD 70 (USD 99), it includes the visa fees of JOD 40 (US$56.50) and entry to top 40 of Jordan’s tourist attractions, including Petra, Jerash, Wadi Rum, and much more.
