RYE - Summer Camps, Turkey

Jana Krajčovič - From North to South Türkiye

Among the youth services provided by RYE is the organisation of summer camps. From a wide range of options, Jana Krajčovič from RC Praha City chose "From North to South Türkiye." She describes each day of her camp experience in her article:

FIRST DAY: When I arrived at the airport, the leaders welcomed me. They were very kind, but almost didn’t speak English. They took me to a restaurant where we waited for the others. After a few hours of waiting, a bus arrived to take us to Eregli, where we were assigned to families and went straight to bed.

SECOND DAY: Right in the morning, we met the mayor of Eregli, who was celebrating his birthday. Afterwards, we went for lunch at a restaurant. After lunch, we headed straight to row on the river. Unfortunately, there was only one boat available for three people, so we waited a long time for our turn. After rowing, we took a walk to a museum that was on a boat and focused on maritime history. There, we watched a film about Turkey's navy. After the museum visit, we each received a Rotary T-shirt and cap. In the evening, there was a big football match, so we watched the large screening with the local residents.
