Unfortunately, you cannot apply. The international group is for teenagers from 14 to 18 years old. 

Usually around 15, but it can be anywhere from 10 to 25 campers. 

Absolutely, we will be scheduling a couple of orientation sessions so that we can answer your questions and you can meet other campers in advance. We will let you know when those sessions are scheduled.

Participants of the International group have the same schedule as all the other groups (3 activities in the morning, 3 activities in the afternoon and an evening program). 

Participants of the International group live together in rooms which accommodate 4 to 8 people. The rooming is separated by gender.

The International Group has a selection process. Once you have been accepted to the group (have “waiting for payment” status in the registration system), please pay the participation fee. The payment methods may vary depending on the region. The individual participants of the International Group and those coming from the US should pay $1750 via a link sent to them by the coordinator.

After we received and confirmed the payment of the participation fee, you can purchase the tickets. Remember to send the information about your tickets to the coordinator of the International group.

• Each session starts on Sunday in the afternoon and ends on Friday after breakfast. Thus, we suggest that your flight arrives at Budapest airport in the morning on the first day of the session (on Sunday), and that your flight back is scheduled after 11:00 am on the last day of the session (on Friday). 
• If you prefer to arrive in Budapest earlier due to Sabbath observance, you may do so but you will need to organize your own accommodations for the weekend in Budapest. If necessary, you can depart earlier than 11AM on the last day of the session. 

Please choose a flight that lands in Budapest (BUD) airport.

The participants of the International group arriving to Budapest individually (without an organized group from their country of origin) will have organized transportation from Budapest (airport) to the camp. 

• In the morning of the last day of the session, you will get on the bus to Budapest, and we will provide you with a taxi voucher which you will be able to use to get a cab to the airport. 
• Unfortunately, you cannot stay in the camp later than 11:00 am. 

• In general, you can. It might happen that there are no places on the session you would like to be transferred to.  
• Please let us know what session you want to switch to.
