Individual tent

For the accommodation of volunteers in tent camps, tents are provided on all our projects. Our tents are designed for two people. The number of tents provided is based on the number of volunteers in the group. For example, if there are 12 volunteers on the project, then tents provided is 6 + 1 (a tent for separate food storage). Therefore, if you prefer to live without a neighbor, you need to take care of it yourself. An individual tent also makes sense if you are taller than 180 cm, as our tents have exactly this length
