2015-16 LIONS INTERNATIONAL YOUTH CAMP & EXCHANGE DIRECTORY 118 camps in 42 countries

207 chairperson details from 49 countries Information received as of April 15, 2016

Updates are generally posted to this directory twice per month.

General directions regarding the application process for camps and exchanges are listed below. Please note that this directory only provides general information. Additional eligibility requirements may apply and are

determined by the Lions district or multiple district hosting the camp or exchange, not by Lions Clubs

International (LCI) headquarters.

Costs to participate in a camp and/or exchange, including travel expenses, are the responsibility of the sponsor Lions club, the host Lions club, the participant, the participants family, or a combination of these sources. When reviewing the

listings, please note that it is not necessary to travel to another country to participate in a camp or exchange; you can

also apply for camps and exchanges within your own country. In addition, when applying for a camp, it is highly recommended that you apply for only one camp at a time. Applying for more than one camp at the same time often

creates confusion and also limits the spaces available to other young people. As such, you are encouraged to submit an application to another camp only after you have received notice from your first camp choice that you have not been

accepted into that same camp.

For more information about the Lions International Youth Camp and Exchange Program, please visit the LCI website.

FOR CAMP & EXCHANGE To apply to attend a camp (which also includes a host family stay):

1. For eligibility and application requirements, contact the Youth Camp and Exchange Chairperson listed for the

district or the multiple district program under consideration. A standard application (YCE 1401) is available on the Lions Clubs International (LCI) website. However, please note that many districts require the submission of an

application specific to their camp or exchange program, so it is best to contact the Youth Camp and Exchange Chairperson first.

2. After the application is completed, contact your local Lions club for sponsorship and to obtain the required

signatures, including those of the Lions club president and the local Youth Camp and Exchange Chairperson, if applicable.

3. After signatures are obtained, forward the application to the Youth Camp and Exchange Chairperson in the district or multiple district where the camp will be offered.

4. Applicants selected to attend a camp will receive a confirmation letter and information packet, typically from the Youth Camp and Exchange Chairperson.

FOR EXCHANGE ONLY

To apply for a host family stay (no camp attendance):

1. To obtain sponsorship, contact your local Lions club or one of the district/multiple district Youth Camp and

Exchange Chairpersons listed in this directory. If youre not familiar with your local Lions club, use the Find a

Club feature on the Lions Clubs International (LCI) website.

2. Complete an application. A sample application (YCE 1401) may be obtained from the LCI website. However,

please note that many districts/multiple districts require their own application.

3. Once sponsorship and signatures are obtained, the application should be sent to the Youth Camp and Exchange

Chairperson in the area where the exchange will be offered. He/she will then review the application, and if

approved, work on locating a host family for the exchange.
