About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

B75 is a value-based table tennis club with professional trainers and players. Our trainers work as volunteers. The Work Camp will be a part of our annual International Summer Camp. 200 trainers and players from all over the world will gather for three weeks of learning, fun, making new friends and much more. Last year the participants came from 43 countries. The International Summer Camp has existed for 17 years. This is the third year we are hosting a Work Camp. The first two years have been a success and we are looking forward to this year. This year we will have two Work Camp groups at the same time, so the groups can alternate in working hours, and find time to do social activities together. "For me, it has been a great experience that will help me developing in my way of thinking and seeing the world with other eyes because being with people from other countries that are so different as mine has been one of the best experiences in my life." - Fer Sanchez Mexico, a former participant Read more on www.B75.dk

💼 What the programme involves

As a volunteer, you will be working 5 days a week, with 2 days off. The Work Camp volunteers work together with local volunteers typical 7 hours or less to help with different tasks during the Summer Camp and help out the camp participants. Work starts in the morning, in the afternoon and some tasks, like being a part of the video crew, means you must work at different times during the day. There will be a rotation between the tasks to make the days vary for the volunteers. The different tasks can include assisting in the kitchen, where you will help prepare both vegetarian and meat dishes and serve the food to the other camp participants. Similar tasks can include helping with cleaning assistance or drive shuttle buses to and from the airport, train station, ferry terminals and practice halls. Other tasks can include overseeing activities with the camp participants and the smallest children, helping in the administration with check inn, check out and room preparations and make video-reports for international live streaming, write articles and take photos for the social media. It will also be possible to be a sparring partner in the Table Tennis Camp and interact with the camp participants. The camp is good for you, if you like to be in an international environment and can adapt to changes.

📍 About the location

During your three weeks stay in the Northern Jutland you will have time to explore some unique nature and attractions in Denmark. You can, for example, arrange a day trip to Skagen, the most Northern tip of Denmark where two oceans meet. Skagen is famous for the special light which has attracted many painters, cosy yellow and red houses and much more. You can also visit Hjørring, which is a city with 30.000 citizens. It is less than 15 km from the sea and beautiful sandy beaches. The biggest sports event in Denmark takes place in Hjørring during the Work Camp. It is called Danacup and is the 24th to the 29th of July. In the neighbouring town called Hirtshals is the biggest Aquarium in Northern Europe. And in another neighbouring town is the biggest summer amusement park in Denmark called “Fårup Sommerland”.

⚠️ Requirements
