Camp Avannaa - Under the Midnight Sun

IMPORTANT! Volunteers will travel as a group from Copenhagen to Greenland first by plane and then two times by helicopter to get to the Work Camp. You only buy ticket from your homeland to Copenhagen and back. Tickets from Copenhagen to Qaanaq will be provided but therefore you pay travel costs which will be subsidized in accordance to the home country of the volunteer. Travel costs: 4000 DKK / 500 EUR for people from non-European countries 6000 DKK / 800 EUR for people from European countries 8000 DKK / 1000 EUR for people from Scandinavian countries You will be flying with the American Airforce from Copenhagen to Thule. For some countries this might prolong the visum process. Hence it is important to apply in good time for this Camp! It is positive if you have experience with staying/living in secluded Communities. Qaanaaq is very far away from the rest of Greenland and the rest of the World. In Qaanaaq planes to the nearest bigger town is only once a week. It is not possible to sail to any bigger town. Being able to live without internet and scarce telephone connection is very important. Food will mainly be fish and meet - but vegetarian food is possible as long as you are allright with eating canned and frozen vegetables. You will be working with kids six hours a day, so you should find joy in spending time with children and know how to be patient with them. Most of the children do not understand English so you should be open to other ways of communicating. A motivational letter and criminal record is required.
