📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The Caritas Children’s Village in Irschenberg was founded in 1972 and is home to about 100 children and teenagers. This summer, the village organizes a two week summer camp for 40 children and teenagers (ages 12 – 14) who had to flee the Ukrainian areas of Donezk und Lugansk. The organizers of the summer camp are very happy to get the help of an international workcamp to make the two weeks a carefree time and an unforgettable memory for all the kids.
💼 What the programme involves
A variety of tasks await your help: With the group’s two leaders, you will organize the kids’ leisure activities and games at the village. On excursion days, you will accompany them on their outings and field trips (including a three day stay at the Rabenmoos Alp in the mountains, tours to nearby cities like Munich or Rosenheim, to an amusement park, or to a salt mine). You will also be in charge of cooking and preparing meals with the kitchen chef and the help of some of the kids, as well as help out with organizing the summer camp’s accommodation. Some knowledge of Ukrainian or Russian could be helpful but isn´t obligatory!
🏠 Accommodation on site
Your home in the children’s village will be a community house, equipped with sanitary facilities and a kitchen. Accommodation is in two shared rooms on sleeping mats. Please bring your own sleeping bag!
