Participants will be provided with the necessary tools and our archaeologists will explain the basic techniques about restoration and excavation of the ruins.
🏠 Accommodation on site
This workcamp as well as the other summer activities organized by the Grup d’Esplai
Vidrerenc has its headquarters in ‘Escola Salvador Espriu’ (Vidreres primary school). Such
premises are not used for teaching purposes during summer and we turn it into a place
where children’s summer activities, holiday camps and workcamps take place.
The main accommodation to sleep will be the gym of the school, provided with bunk beds,
mattresses, and wardrobes for the participants. As bathrooms, we will use the showers
and toilettes of the school.
All the food is cooked by a professional cook on the school’s kitchen. The meals are
served using the dining room in the school. We will share the dining room with children
and teenager groups taking part in summer activities organized by the
Grupd’EsplaiVidrerenc. There’s a vegan or vegetarian option!
Just in front of the school, there is the public swimming pool of the town that can be used
by the participants.
The center of the village is 10 minutes’ walking from the school.
