PARNU YOUTH CAMP I

Work and programme Volunteers together with youth workers are responsible for the day activities in the camps. The general camp program (themes, actions, social activities, games, excursions etc.) is worked out by the youth workers before camps start. Still volunteers can work out some activities for youngsters during the camp days together with youth workers. The content of these activities depends on the camp’s topics. In addition to volunteers there are 2-4 youth workers. The volunteers’ tasks are: ● assisting youth workers in communicating and supervising youngsters; ● helping youth workers to prepare the day activities; ● carrying out planned activities; ● taking part in excursions, games, meetings, discussions, seminars and handicraft workshops; ● gividing youngsters communication, activating their vocabulary, encouraging them to speak English and/or Russian. The work can be pretty intense, requiring a high level of commitment, lots of communication and responsibility for the camp program and young participants. The camp days last from 12:00 until 18:00. Volunteers will stay with youngsters in this time period and then they spend some time to prepare the next day’s activities together with youth workers. The camps activities will mostly take place in the Youth Centre of Parnu.
