🏢 About the local organisation
Grup d’Esplai Vidrerenc, a group of volunteers from the same village who organize different leisure activities during all the year for kids an youth. The workcamp is part of the summer program.
💼 What the programme involves
The workplace is taking place in a 12th century castle. Lead by professional archaeologists, the job will consist in doing some restoring activities and excavation in the remaining parts of the castle. The participants will be the main responsible of coordinating the task.
Every year a Facebook group is created in order to communicate with the volunteers and organize previous journeys.
🏠 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 Grup d’Esplai Vidrerenc.
Just in front of the school, there is the municipal swimming pool that can be used by the participants.
The centre of the village is 10 minutes’ walking from the school.
📍 About the location
A part from the technical work, other free time activities will be offered, including swimming-pool, sports, workshops, and crafts… among others. Additionally, trips to places of tourist interest such as Lloret de Mar, Tossa de Mar and Girona will be organized.
