🏢 About the local organisation
The town of Weil der Stadt , located close to Stuttgart, organizes annually a summer-camp for kids: There are about 95 children taking part each year; they may participate for just one of the two weeks or both. The purpose of the program is to give every child the chance to have a fun vacation time while at the same time supporting working parents during the first part of school summer break. International volunteers have been supporting the summer activities and thus the local communities for two years already (UN SDG 11 sustainable communities).
💼 What the programme involves
Together with a group of German caregivers, you will support a summer free-time program for children aged 6-12 years old. In the first two weeks of summer holidays, they get picked up in the morning, spend their day at a holiday house and return in the afternoon at 5pm. On Friday, theres one overnight-stay and a common breakfast. Saturday afternoon and Sunday are free. The summer camp is situated next to a forest and a sportsground which allow for many outdoor adventures for the children, such as building huts or playing sports. But there will also be many opportunities for creative workshops. You are welcome to bring your own games, songs and ideas
