🏢 About the local organisation
Rutenia is a children s horse academy which teaches kids for classical horse riding. The attitude towards horses is very loyal and warm, horses can even sleep on the riding-hall. In the summer period Rutenia runs summer camp for children on horse-riding with extensive English learning, kids sometimes come with their parents.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will help in running summer camp for children, who come to Rutenia for horse trainings on their holidays. Age of children in the camp is 7-12 years, so we prefer families with children of the same age. Adult volunteers will help camp-leaders in organizing daily activities for kids, different workshops, common work in garden with kids. One of the tasks is to speak English with children as the camp is with English learning. 2 days-off per week, schedule will be set on place. Almost the whole day volunteers will be involved in activities, but it is not something hard i like usual summer camp for children, and while they are on trainings or having rest i volunteers also have an opportunity to relax. Children will be involved in all activities as participants of the summer camp, including volunteering activities in the garden and small zoo.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will live in large hotel room i 2 families in one room, but we will check with amount of families members. Shower and toilet are in the room. Food will be prepared in canteen by chef.
