How are program fees spent?

The Damascus Summer Encounter is an extremely inexpensive program. All fees you pay go directly into the cost of your trip. Middle East Fellowship does not make a profit on your visit. The cost of the program includes three meals a day, accomodations, staff time, most transportation, weekend excursions and intensive Arabic classes. We keep all of our programs as cheap as possible because we feel they offer valuable opportunities to build relationships between internationals and the peoples of the Middle East.
