💼 What the programme involves
During this camp we need to prepare our project centre for the next workcamp season.
Our main goal for the first week will be all about woodworking to prepare our project center for the upcoming workcamp season. This means we'll be busy building DIY furniture specifically designed for our outdoor areas. To make sure everyone learns the woodworking skills well, we've arranged for a skilled instructor to guide us through hands-on training sessions. Alongside woodworking, we'll also take care of other renovation tasks, like painting walls and fixing up small things indoors and outdoors. Since a lot of our work will be outside, it's essential for everyone to come prepared with waterproof clothing to handle any bad weather that comes our way.The centre needs some new colors on the walls, as well as some renovation work needs to be done. You will need waterproof clothes in case of bad weather, as you will be mainly working outside. Other small tasks during the camp may include maintenance or renovation works inside and outside.
