The flights logistics have become more difficult. We will inform you with exact information closer to the camp. If you do not want to wait, we will be happy to help you order a taxi.

If you are unable to accompany your child, campers aged between 5 and 16 years can travel without parents under the supervision of a flight company staff. The staff will take care of children at all stages of their travels including check-in, boarding, flying, arrival and transfer if needed. For more details, please contact Aeroflot to purchase the service. Regarding the rules about the travels of underaged kids without parents’ supervision of other airlines, contact them directly.

The group transfer from Zvartnots Airport and back is organized for all campers. In the arrival zone, the Just Dilijan It! staff will meet and accompany campers to the campus on comfortable buses.

The other group transfer is organized from the Republic Square in Yerevan for the participants of the Interactive Program and UWC Short Course at 12:30 on the starting day of the program.

The road from Yerevan to Dilijan takes approximately 2 hours. In case you chose another flights, please let us know the arrival and departure details, we will provide you an additional information.

Participants have five mealtimes per day: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and supper.

Round the clock video surveillance on the campus, and round the clock patrols by a licensed security firm.

The campus has its own medical centre staffed with qualified doctors and nurses who are available 24 hours per day. If a specialist is required, the child will be taken to the Tavush medical centre which is open 24/7. If necessary, an accompanied trip will be organized to a medical facility in Yerevan.

In each group there will be a telephone with an Armenian number, which you can call if you need to get in touch with your child. The contact information, and phone number, will be given to you by the manager upon request at the start of each group.

Kids will be provided with everything they need during their stay, this includes entrance to all excursions included in the program. During the excursion, the children will occasionally have the opportunity to buy souvenirs or non-perishable foodstuffs. You have to decide by yourself whether you will provide pocket money, and if so, then how much, as well as talking to your child about their responsibility to keep it safe (see the answer to the next question).

The college's academic building has enough lockers to secure valuable items. Each child at the beginning of each group will be provided with an individual locker in the room.

The program is organised so that your child will be supervised the whole time that they are not in their room.
