💼 What the programme involves
The “Holznagelhausen” adventure playground is a holiday activity in the Veitshöchheim community. For 2 weeks, together with other volunteers, you'll be looking after 200 children between the ages of 7 and 13 – split into 14 groups - across a large outdoor area. You'll build wooden huts, offer sports and other workshop activities to the children (from football to baseball, baking pizzas in a stone oven to crafts and pedagogical games). You'll be able to have a lot of fun together. During the camp you'll be able to contribute your own ideas and skills, learn about how a youth project is carried out, experience working in a big team, learn new languages and make many new friends!
🏠 Accommodation on site
You’ll be staying in shared rooms in the “Am Kalten Brunnen” (at the cold fountains) nature hostel. The group will prepare and cook meals together.
