📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The project takes place on the grounds of the VJf meeting centre. Here, we hold our own seminars for our voluntary ecological year and for our Weltwärts projects throughout the year, as well as other work camps, training courses for camp leaders and return seminars. In addition, guests such as school classes or groups take advantage of the proximity to Berlin in the midst of nature and right by the lake.
💼 What the programme involves
We have a lot planned for this year, which is why we are holding two spring camps in 2026. We need your help to get our VJF meeting place ‘Krimnitzer Weg' ready for the coming season. The tasks include improving the accessibility of the meeting place, tidying up and removing leaves and branches from the grounds. In addition, various other activities may be required to improve the grounds, such as renovating and painting the building. However, the main task is to build a new fire pit with seating.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation
You will stay in one of the heated bungalows at the youth and meeting centre. There are six bungalows in total, each equipped with a bathroom with shower and toilet. Bed linen is provided, so you do not need to bring a sleeping bag.
Food
Meals are prepared in alternating cooking groups in a large kitchen in the main building. Feel free to bring simple recipes from your home country that you can cook together with the other participants during your stay. Vegan and vegetarian options are, of course, provided.
📍 About the location
Location
You will be staying at the ‘Project and Meeting Centre' of the VJF. The small bungalow village is located directly on the shore of the ‘Langer See' lake in Berlin. It is a quiet place on the outskirts of Berlin with good connections to the centre of the capital.
Leisure time
Leisure activities will be discussed and decided upon by the participants at the beginning of the camp. Excursions to Berlin and the surrounding area are planned. Please find out in advance what you would like to see in Berlin and bring your suggestions with you!
