Fellowship and Adventure Program
(August 22-28, 2011, Porumbacu, Romania)
Since we know that you will be coming a long way to attend the Spiritual Meetings in Sibiu (August, 18-21, 2011), and (most of you also) the Dedication of the Youth and Family Retreat Center in the mountains in Porumbacu, together with a large baptism (August 22, 2011), we believe that you want to make the most of your trip to Romania.
Therefore, we have prepared an Adventure Program for those of you who would like to spend more days in Christian fellowship in the midst of nature, resting, taking short walks, or taking daily hiking tours in the surrounding mountains.
We call it an "adventure" because everything might be totally different from your usual lifestyle, which will make it a unique, unforgettable experience for most of you.
• Cost: 25 US Dollars/day (accommodation, transportation, guide and meals included).
Each participant can choose the number of days he or she wants to stay, and programs he or she wants to take part in.
Those interested in participating in this program should keep in mind the dates when booking their trip back home!!!
