About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Every year the Swedish Association for building preservation arranges restoration camps where participants from abroad also take part. Normally there are around seven camps every summer with a total of about 70 participants. During a restoration camp the participants will work to restore a cultural building using traditional material and methods, and learn from instructors with long experience in restoration. The participants of the camps normally consist of a mix of people with various backgrounds and ages between 18 and 80 years old.

💼 What the programme involves

Take part in the renovation of several buildings located on an island in the middle of the Swedish archipelago. The main operations consist of window renovations, paint jobs and repairing of a terrace wall. You will live in the captains house, along with the other participants, with excellent bathing opportunities right outside your door. The work will be 8 hours each day.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The accomodation is in a hostel with bathroom on the corridor. You will be catered and don't have to cook on your own.

📍 About the location

There will be at least one group leader. In the evening there is time for trips like canooing, visiting historical sights, barbecue, swimming etc.

ℹ️ Additional information

This camp is a trinational camp for participants from Sweden, France and Germany. This camp is only for volunteers sent by IJGD.
