About the camp:

Participating in a workcamp means working voluntarily during 2 or 3 weeks at a project of a common utility, such as environment, archaeology, culture, patrimony.

It is a form of informal education, but also an opportunity to discover a new region and its inhabitants.

The participants get to know the real life of a small community, as well as the culture and customs of other volunteers, who come from all around the world.

Groups have usually between 10 and 15 participants.

General accommodation is basic: a common room for sleeping and eating. Volunteers cook for themselves; sometimes they are sleeping on the floor and sometimes in tents.

Volunteers should bring a sleeping bag, a sleeping mat, work clothes, warm clothes, sport
shoes, gloves. Please notice that it’s easier to have a backpack, especially in the mountains!
