About the project

NATURECAMP

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

This camp is organized together by the Municipality of Poytya and local 4H-club. The local organisations have again joined forces to organise an international work camp in order to give local youth international experiences. The host organisation also runs a Nature Cabinet which runs nature related exhibitions.

💼 What the programme involves

The theme of the camp is nature and youth in the countryside and the volunteers will get many opportunities for intercultural encounters. Volunteers should be prepared to present their own country and its culture to local children and youth during visits to local school and youth houses, or when organisizing an international evening events for the young people. The volunteers will get a chance to get to know the local nature through tidying surroundings.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Modest hostel style accommodation with a large common space, own sleeping bags needed. Showers in a separate building. Volunteers will prepare meals together in small teams.

📍 About the location

Ylane is a small village surrounded by lakes and forests in Western Finland, about 190 km from Helsinki. The nearest city is Turku which is about 55 km away. During free time volunteers can participate in various activities such as sauna, swimming, canoeing, berry picking and fishing. There are national parks nearby so the area provides excellent hiking possibilities. To reach the camp the volunteers can arrive in Helsinki airport and then by bus or train to Turku. From Turku there are few buses to Ylane daily.
