🏢 About the local organisation

The Base de Plein Air Jean-Jeune offers summer and winter camps for youth aged 5 to 16. Known for its crazy themes and outdoor activities, the centre allows people who have never left urban areas to discover nature for the first time.

💼 What the programme involves

To be a volunteer camp co-leader is: • To be responsible for the supervision and realisation of a volunteer wok project in collaboration with another leader ; • To assist a group of a dozen young volunteers coming from different countries and help them complete their project ; • To establish a good relationship between the volunteers, the local host and the local community. The ideal arrival is July 10th, in order to attend the training and to be there for the preparation days taking place that week. The volunteer will be co-leader on Vendée volunteer camp until July 29th. [The work project will allow volunteers to do manual labour and general maintenance work on the grounds and buildings of the camp. It will also improve the experience for the 2,000 and plus children and their family who visit the camp. The goal is to restore the current infrastructure and develop new services for clients who are mainly from the city.]
