Torchbearers-Albania | School Information

Outreach week
Students will serve in different churches and Christian organizations throughout Albania. They will be organized in groups of four to five students per group. The students will live with families from the welcoming church/organization. This will help them get to know the Albanian culture and lifestyle as well as make an impact for the Gospel.

Living in an Albanian Home
You will get the chance to really experience Albanian culture and hospitality as you live with an Albanian family for a week. Because it is a local family, you will have the chance to continue your relationship with the family throughout the school year. For many students this is a highlight of their Bible School time.

Student Service
Every Sunday evening there will be a Student Service. The main speaker of the week will share his/her story with the students and preach God’s word that evening. Students will be responsible for planning and participating in this Student Service. (In addition, on Sunday mornings, students will be encouraged to be involved in a local church of their choice).

Travel weekend
Udhëkryq will organize several travel weekends to some of the most beautiful historic towns and places in Albania. These will be long weekends beginning on Friday morning and ending on Sunday evening. These are great times for relaxation and fun, as you visit some very interesting historical places in Albania.

Recreation
We have a variety of sports activities available. We have a climbing wall and ropes course at the school that will provide fun, team-building times. We will also organize soccer, volleyball and basketball games. We have a fleet of canoes that can be used at local lakes and rivers.

Hiking & Climbing
Albania is about 70% mountainous. There are lots of trails for hiking and backpacking. After training on our climbing walls, you may want to head out for rock climbing on some of the local peaks (with a trained climber of course). Albania also has a number of caves – many of them unexplored.
