📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
This workcamp takes place directly at the Schluchsee surrounded by the beautiful landscape of the Black Forest. Together you will build a house on wheels, a so-called Tiny House. The high house will be built within three weeks during the workcamp. At the end of the camp, the participants should have acquired enough skills to be able to build their own Tiny House. For this purpose, the individual construction steps are explained and discussed, and the participants can practice them right away during the workcamp.
In their free time, participants can go swimming or canoeing in the nearby Schluchsee. Hiking is also an option since plenty of hiking trails lead directly past the Naturcamp. Participants can use all public transport In the surrounding region for free thanks to the Conus card.
💼 What the programme involves
With the help of experts, the house walls are manufactured and erected, windows and doors are installed and the roof structure is mounted. The wooden post-and-beam walls are insulated and clad with wood on the inside and outside. Inside, a gallery and a partition wall for the small planned bathroom are being built. Electricity and water supply as well as the installation of a wood heating system are also part of the work camp.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will sleep in your own tent at the nature camp. The beautiful area is very spacious, has sufficient sanitary facilities, shelters, and cosy fireplaces for the evenings. You will cook together.
