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.

The camp language is mainly English with some French. The volunteers work on a concrete project, doing about 25/30 hours per week.
