🏢 About the local organisation
The town of Scheinfeld invites an international workcamp for the first time this year. Both the town’s mayor, as well as locals, are happy to have your support with a variety of tasks in the community. You will mainly be working outside on various sites in the town and help with construction work and renovation tasks.
💼 What the programme involves
Various projects await the help of international volunteers in Scheinfeld this summer. You will build sites for activities like Pétanque/boules or table tennis next to the local outdoor swimming pool, and help with the maintenance of a footpath leading from the senior citizens’ home to a vineyard. Also, there is an adventure playground which kids and locals have started building themselves. They will be happy if you support them with some of the construction work, especially the building of a wooden hut on the playground.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The group will be staying at the local school building which has a gymnasium equipped with all necessary sanitary facilities. There is a huge kitchen which the group is free to use as well as a nice outside area that is all yours during the summer holidays. You will also get free access to the warm outdoor swimming pool next to one of your working sites. Please bring a sleeping bag!
