🏢 About the local organisation
Consell de Joves (Youth Council) of Arbúcies (CJA), created in 1991 and formed by a group of youngsters with the goal to organize activities for and with the youngsters of the town. Their main activity is organizing archaeology workcamps in the Castle of Montsoriu.
💼 What the programme involves
The workcamp consists on two different experiences: in one hand, there is the technical work and its main objectives are: team work, respect of the cultural and historical heritage and the recovery of the materials found during excavations.
This work is coordinated by the archeological team of the Ethnological museum from Montseny, la Gabella.
On the other hand, there is the rest of the day with activities and leisure time that seeks a peaceful coexistence within the participants and organizers.
The workcamp takes place in the castle during the week. On weekends the participants will go to the village of Arbúcies in municipal facilities.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation is organized inside the castle during weekdays. During the weekends participants will stay in the village of Arbúcies in municipal facilities: Can Delfí Sports center, which has no beds. In the castle there are some outdoors covered areas (dining room and kitchen in big tents), where most of the activities and meetings will be taking place. There are also two prefabricated water closets and cold water showers with a septic tank. All these are located outside the entrance of the castle yard. The bedroom is situated in the restored Noble room of the castle, with 14 bunk beds (28 beds).
