Excerpt
The southern Manitoba town of Grunthal is inviting folks to camp there this weekend — refugee style.
For $100, you can take your own tent and a sleeping bag to the camp and receive a ration of rice and beans. To cook your ration, you’ll need to collect firewood. To find the firewood, you’ll have to follow instructions in Arabic. For an additional $50, you can take in a "luxury" item such as a pillow.
