📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Free time activities for the children and young people on 7 days, e.g. in the form of various creative workshops, games, sports and leisure activities, which the SCI volunteers will prepare and carry out for the children. Together with the experienced team from Trebnitz Castle, the holiday offers for children will be worked out in the form of workshops during the first three days, in order to be carried out in small teams after the children have arrived.
Please note: Working hours in this camp are different from normal. There is no need to spend time on self-organisation (cooking, cleaning, shopping), but instead more time can be devoted to the workshop preparation and implementation. The camp group will spend a day in Berlin together. Although the supervision of the children is the responsibility of the educational team at Schloí Trebnitz, it is possible that the children will approach you in your free time. In spite of all the effort that working with children involves, participation in the volunteer camp brings a lot of fulfilment, experience and fun.
