About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Every year the Association arranges restoration camps where participants from abroad also take part. Normally there are around seven camps every summer with a total of about 70 participants. During a restoration camp the participants will work to restore a cultural building using traditional material and methods, and learn from instructors with long experience in restoration. The participants of the camps normally consist of a mix of people with various backgrounds and ages between 18 and 80 years old.

💼 What the programme involves

Bröttorp is located at the beautiful island of Öland, which is a popular holiday destination in Sweden. Take part in the renovation of a rustic windmill, so typical for the area. This camp is hosted for the third year and offers quite an unique chance to learn the arts and crafts of timber and carpentry. The camp leaders are all certified windmill repairers. The work will be 8 hours each day.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The accomodation is in a hostel with bathroom on the corridor. You will be catered and don't have to cook on your own.

📍 About the location

There will be at least one group leader. In the evening there is time for trips like canooing, visiting historical sights, barbecue, swimming etc.
