🏢 About the local organisation
CAMP is cancelled (12/03/2020)
💼 What the programme involves
The workcamp takes place on the urban construction and adventure playground in Gelsenkirchen Horst. The idea is to create something new on the outdoor area, with your help and support. We would like to build a small Native American village with tepees, fountains, animal enclosures, plants and much more. The future young visitors to the area should be able to experience the lives of indigenous people in harmony with nature. You will have professional support and guidance from others while completing the work tasks.
The facility is a popular meeting place for children, young people and families. There is an old villa and a large outdoor area included within the facility. The activities on offer here are in the field of experiential environmental education in the natural environment.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be sleeping in tepees, a circus tent will be your living space, of course you can also make use of the old villa and its kitchen, along with the large outdoor area with a campfire site, a barbecue area etc. Sanitary facilities are located on the nearby sports pitch. The group will prepare and cook meals together.
