Camps: One or two week long camps bring together young people (ages 16 to 22) from around the world. Camps usually include a host family stay (exchange) that lasts between one and four weeks. More than 100 Lions youth camps in about 39 countries are held each year. Activities vary and can include visits to places of historic or natural interest, sports, and country presentations by camp participants.
