The workcamp is organized by the NGO Parents and Children of Kadan (RADKA) which provides a variety of services for families with children (maternal, swimming, volunteer, social and educational centres, more on: www.radka.kadan.cz).

There will be 2 such camps during the workcamp - the urban one in the 1st week in Kadan, and the outdoor one in the 2nd week near a small village of Kotvina.
