🏢 About the local organisation
This workcamp is the result of the cooperation between the town hall of Chemillé-Melay, the Chemillois social centre and Concordia.
These days the cloister’s park is a walking place used by the inhabitants of the village. For two years, we have been organising workcamps there to make this park a better place: renovation of the banks of a pond, of a surrounding wall…
💼 What the programme involves
For this new workcamp, we would like to work on two different things: going on with the renovation of the surrounding wall of the Cloister’s park and creating a pergola inside the park, in order to support the activities organised by an association: “The open-air cafe of the Cloister”.
🏠 Accommodation on site
In a shared accommodation under tents, boys and girls separated. Sanitary facilities in the locker rooms. Collective life and cooking at the leisure camp “les Cloîtres”. The group will be sharing the cleaning chores and preparing meals together. Bring a sleeping bag and a mat.
You will experience a sustainable lifestyle within the camp (local organic food, composting, energy saving…).
