The program as we have prepared it for you

Do remember that you are the highest priority during your 2 week stay with us here in Roskilde. We have arranged some events and sightseeing but giving you all an experience and memories for life is the name of the game for us in Roskilde South Rotary Club. We are still working to refine the program so at the present take it as our intensions, some events may have to change dates and others may change as well.
Saturday and Sunday July 18.-19.

You arrive to Denmark by plane, train or by car and we meet you whereever your arrivalpoint is and assure you get to your first overnight-stay with 2 of you, randomly appointed, hosted by one of our Rotary families locally. You stay with that family for the weekend.
Monday July 20.

We all meet at the camp which is a local Scout Camp. You meet some of our Club Representatives and then we check our accommodation for the duration of the camp and get settled – then we learn a bit of the entire group and take part in some teambuilding exercises.
