📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

This is the 21st consecutive workcamp in Avricourt! This small town of barely 200 inhabitants does everything to give the best welcome to the volunteers, some of them came back! Village meals, invitations to eat, donations of jams and other vegetables from the garden are a classic in Avricourt.

💼 What the programme involves

*** VERSION EN FRANCAIS DISPONIBLE EN FIN DE DESCRIPTION *** *** French version at the end of the description *** In the continuity of the masonry work of the previous years you will participate in the renovation of the church. More particularly traditional masonry work on the large facade of the church: repointing of wall joints, staking, repointing, bricks and stones to be changed, etc. Many exchanges with the local community are planned, especially since that with the help of the camp leaders you will organize meetings and activities in the village and at the school.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in the village hall. Cots will be provided but please bring your sleeping bag. Please note that there is only one shower and one toilet to share. A budget will be allocated to the camp leaders and you will participate in shopping and meal preparation. The kitchen is very well equipped (communal oven, dishwasher, cold room etc.).
