💼 What the programme involves
The “Hauskreis Nordloh e.V.” association is a small, not-for-profit organisation that runs a seminar house to promote child and youth work. The former farm is available for school trips, confirmation groups, leisure, holiday care for children, and other activities. With such an old house, there is always something which needs to be repaired, patched and replaced. The spacious outdoor area will need to be cleaned and tided up (by uncovering plaster, trimming weeds and sawing wood). Besides this, we would like to come up with a new creative design for the entrance area with a path, a fence and parking spaces. This will also need to be hammered, sawn and painted. These tasks will require manual skills, endurance and creativity. You are welcome to share your own creative ideas with us too.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be sleeping in large, shared rooms (10 beds per room). The group will prepare and cook meals together.
📍 About the location
The facility includes a swimming pool, a football pitch, a pool table, table football, table tennis, and darts. You can use the canoes and a large rubber dinghy on the nearby river. The house is in a very rural location right in the middle of nature. There will be bikes available for you to take trips to nearby areas. There are possibilities to go shopping in Barßel (3km away). The nearest towns to you are Oldenburg, Leer, Emden and Bremen. Augustfehn train station, your gate to all of these destinations, is easily reachable by bike (6km away).
