🏢 About the local organisation

Since 5 years ago, Nataté International Volunteer make a call to interested volunteers to participate in our summer camp where, educational and recreational dynamics are fundamental axis of the project. The camp is located in the community of San José Ocotal, in the town of Teopisca, where most of the children do not have access to formal education, and that often help their families make small trading or domestic activities. The main objective of this camp is to give these children a chance to learn and have fun in a multicultural environment.

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers can be involved in the invitation of the group of children to participate in the camp, making it more attractive for them and parents to attend. Depending on the number and ages of the participants, groups can get organized to facilitate activities. Each camp has a main theme, this year will focus on the theme of " environmental education", during the camp, may carry extra activities as teaching other languages (words, songs, games ); artistic activities ( workshops masks , painting , macramé , music) ; recycling ( reusing waste to other objects as musical instruments ) ; games ( team , recreation , mental games) ; skills (construction, coordination), the final program of activities will be defined by the group before the start of the camp, without losing the line of the MAIN THEME.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will stay in a cabin with wooden bunk beds (it is important to bring with you Sleeping Bag) where the whole group will share the same space. They have access to all basic services including hot water. You do not have internet signal and in some areas you can get cell phone coverage. The project includes three meals a day in standard quantities (300 grams per serving), additional quantities of this should be covered by the volunteer. Any special dietary requirements should be informed before the start of volunteering.
