Dutch Experience – Island Edition

Date: 01/07/2014 – 06/07/2014

Location: The Netherlands – Amsterdam, Wadden Islands (Texel, Vlieland), Harlingen & Groningen.

Description:

Explore the amazing wonders of the little Dutch islands. Experience the unique geographic features of these places by travelling across 2 of the 5 islands of the Netherlands in six days! We’ll guide you through Texel and Vlieland by bus, bicycle, boat and foot. To have a real ‘Dutch Experience’ you have to sleep on a campside, so that’s what we’re going to do!

You’ll walk in one of the most incredible dune areas of the Netherlands, where the salt water of the sea has left his marks. We’ll be getting dirty in the mud of the North Sea when the tide is low enough to  walk on the  bottom of the sea. There’ll be fun games as well to get to know all the islands a little bit better. Of course the BDC will be in the program as well.

This event will be organized by EGEA Amsterdam, Utrecht and Groningen. The Dutch Experience also includes a stay in Amsterdam (as a ‘pre-party’) and 1 day in Groningen (after party). You can expect a city tour and an introduction to the night life. On the island of Texel we’ll be staying at the campsite ‘Koogerstrand’. This is a campsite in the dunes next to the beach. You can jump out of your tent into the sea! In Harlingen we’ll stay at ‘Camping de Zeehoeve’.
