🏢 About the local organisation
It is our third camp! Got a nice experience in 2018 and 2019. The Dana Cup is a nonprofit organisation that runs one of the world's largest international youth soccer tournaments.
Every year in the last week of July, the soccer tournament brings together around 20.000 young people between 12 and 19 years old, there leaders and coaches. They come to Hjørring in northern Denmark from 45 different nations and they represent 1000 football teams.
Dana Cup week is a great party in Hjørring and Work Teams tasks are many and there are many possible jobs.

Travel information
COVID-19:
In regards to COVID-19, it is our ambition to complete our Work Camps this summer, but it is essential for us, that our volunteers feel safe during the time they spend at our camps. This is why we constantly keep ourselves updated on the situation and we follow the Danish government's instructions. Furthermore, we are ready to answer any questions that you might have, and we will keep all our volunteers updated right up until the start of the Work Camp.
As of March 2021, there is a few important things to mention:
- it is free for foreigners to take a COVID-19 test upon arrival in Denmark
- with the current vaccine plan, most Danes will be vaccinated at the end of June 2021
Your Work Camp host will have guidelines on how to handle COVID-19 during your stay, including how to handle isolation and enforcement of government guidelines.
Unfortunately, the job involves some physical work and therefore we cannot offer any work to volunteers with disabilities.
Participants must be willing to do manual work, a work that is for the most part outdoors. English will be the only language spoken. All participants must be willing to speak English, even though being from the same country or having troubles with the English language. Try your best!
