🏢 About the local organisation
The youth camp of « La Jumellière » is the result of collaboration between the town of La Jumellière, the Social Center of the Chemillois and the association Concordia.
The municipality of « La Jumelière » has a French bowls pitch, which offers the possibility to associations and locals to use a part of it and practice the so called “petanque”. This equipment has been renovated so that people can play “petanque” even in case of bad weather conditions. The bowling rink has a length of 30 meters, it is covered with a tarp and surrounded by a wooden structure. It has recently been removed because of the renovation and the expansion of the place. From now on, its location will remain permanent.
This workcamp will consist of 6 international volunteers and 10 local volunteers.
💼 What the programme involves
The aim of the workcamp (located close to the leisure center) will consist of painting the walls of the bowlng rink and creating plenty of wooden frames that will be placed on the walls. The volunteers, accompanied by a technical leader, will have many different tasks: take off and clean the tarp, paint a 30-meters wall, construct wooden frames and fix them on the walls.
🏠 Accommodation on site
