CAMPING WEEKEND CAMPING WEEKEND
Servas Netherlands is organizing a camping weekend: from 4 pm Friday, 15 September 2006 to 4 pm Sunday, 17 September 2006 in Zeewolde, province of Flevoland, and would be very happy to welcome Servas members from neighbouring countries.
The province of Flevoland, one of the last to be reclaimed from the sea (1940 to 1970), consists of new cities with new architectural designs, organic farms and different land-art objects. Large newly established nature reserves are of international importance for migrating birds.
We have reserved a fantastic camping site where you can place your own tent, camper or caravan, or rent a place in a tent for 6 to 8 persons provided by the organization (in that case, bring your own sleeping bag and air mattress).
For the Friday evening meal, people bring their own food or buy a take out from the camping snack bar. From Saturday morning until departure on Sunday afternoon, we provide the meals and snacks. Wine, beer and soft drinks are at cost price.
Participation for the weekend (including camping, meals and tourist tax):
- € 50 per person (€ 7.50 extra for a place in the tent)
- € 30 for children, 4 to 17 (€ 7.50 extra for a place in tent)
- (Children 3 and younger are free, they pay only € 7.50 for a place in the tent if needed).
This weekend has space for 100 Servas members from the Netherlands and 100 from neighbouring countries. Write as soon as possible, for the early bird catches the worm.
