The Opening Ceremony is scheduled for Monday 12 July, 7 pm,, after dinner and before the first tournament. The Camp will be closed with the traditional festivities on the night of Tuesday 20 July. Participants are expected to leave Wednesday 21 July, after breakfast.

The daily program includes lectures (for weaker and stronger players) on various bridge subjects to be given by acknowledged teachers. Certain hours will be devoted to physical sports. In the numerous bridge tournaments, the mixing-up of nationalities will be systematically encouraged. There will be at least one organized outing to places of interest nearby. Naturally, participants will have plenty of free time to spend as they wish within the framework of the Camp.

Junior Camps are not mainly addressed to champion players but to the anonymous mass of lesser mortals. Therefore, the level of play should not be regarded as a qualification.

Participants should, in general, be 17-23 years old. This is a guideline rather than a strict limit. NBOs wishing to enter people who are one or two years younger, will be advised to send a group leader whose primary function will be to take special care of these young people. On the other hand, the Youth Committee is prepared to allow older participants, nominated by countries where Junior Bridge is not highly developed. In any case, the standard age limit of 25 years (born on or after 1 January 1974) cannot, of course, be exceeded.
