MOUNTAIN CAMP

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The goal of the group fRilingue is to offer teenagers (age: 10 - 20 years) a two week lan-guage camp. The aim of the Mountain Camps is to combine language courses (French/German) in the morning with free time activities such as sport, music, dance, theatre and cinema in the afternoons. The special advantage of this project is the mixture of adolescents from the French and the German part of Switzerland. There will be some special programmes in the nights and on the weekends. The youngsters will learn outside or in tents if the weather is bad.

💼 What the programme involves

The main work of the volunteers will be the preparation of the daily meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner). Together with a cook they organise the menu schedule, do the shopping and wash the dishes afterwards. Volunteers will also do housekeeping and cleaning rooms, showers and toi-lets. It would be helpful if volunteers know how to prepare a meal for a bigger group.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will sleep in tents or in dormitories. It is simple, but there is a kitchen, toilets and showers.
