📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
We want to enable young people to spend their summer holidays at an English camp, next to the lake and the forest. They will have the opportunity to speak all day only English, to practice what they have learned at school and to put it into practice. They will also socialize without mobile devices which is in our society very difficult nowadays. We want to encourage them to be creative and active, to feel nature and themselves.
💼 What the programme involves
The volunteers will organize morning recreation (30 minutes), be with students at breakfast, lunch, and dinner (take care that the group which is responsible for cleaning the tables does that after the meal), prepare one English lesson (90 minutes) in the morning and another in the afternoon (90 minutes) each day, organize some activities (sports, swimming, different competitions), organize evening program (singing songs around the fire, karaoke, interesting meaningful conversations).
🏠 Accommodation on site
All the participants and volunteers will sleep in tents. Volunteers can share their tents with another volunteer or they will have their own tent. All the tents are provided by the organizer. In every tent, there are a wooden surface and a mattress. Participants need their own warm sleeping bag and a pillow.
