Private Excursions and Weekends

Team members may organize short excursions on their own for small groups to destinations in the nearby region (e.g., Capernaum) in late afternoons – if work allows – and on weekends. However, these excursions will not be guided by the project staff and are not included in the official program.

Note that it is possible that the security situation in Israel may prevent reaching certain locations (we especially discourage you from traveling to the Westbank). – In any case, your accommodation and meals during the weekends are covered by the project.
