In regards to COVID-19, it is our ambition to complete our Work Camps this summer, but it is essential for us, that our volunteers feel safe during the time they spend at our camps. This is why we constantly keep ourselves updated on the situation and we follow the Danish government's instructions. Furthermore, we are ready to answer any questions that you might have, and we will keep all our volunteers updated right up until the start of the Work Camp.

We expect from you, that you want to do manual work, are curious about learning, are responsible and are a decent and nice person.
The work will mostly be outdoor, also if it’s raining, so bring practical clothes.
