About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The village association of Northern Korpilahti organizes activities for the residents of 5 villages.One of the local attractions is a cottage at lake Hangasjärvi, which has served as a resting place for local hiking routes and as a gathering spot for events. The village association is responsible for the cottage area.

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers will use their creativity and art materials from nature to fix up the new outside toilets of the camping sites in the area and give them a new look. Volunteers may also do some smaller upkeeping tasks in the cottage area and participate in the daily tasks of the camp. Volunteers should bring their own camera if they have such, rubber boots and clothes for outside work. For one day the volunteers will also work with the local school. During their free time, the volunteers can go to the sauna, swim or try a rowing boat.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will stay in a lakeside cottage that doesn’t have electricity (just solar panels for lighting and fridge), but there is a cooking place and a grill to barbeque. Washing place is at the sauna by the lake and there are outside toilets. Volunteers will sleep in a cottage in shared rooms, with separate spaces for men and women. Volunteers need to bring their own sleeping bags. As there is no electricity, volunteers should also take an extra battery/power bank for their phones. Volunteers will cook their own meals.
