🏢 About the local organisation
Come and have fun in the village of Orpierre, known worldwide for its climbing site. This year, the town hall of Orpierre, the association Les Villages des Jeunes and the Parc Baronnies Regional Park wish to continue the campaign to preserve and enhance the ancient built heritage of the village. For summer 2023, the town hall would like us to rehabilitate a low dry stone wall in a pedestrian alley in the old village.
💼 What the programme involves
You will start by clearing the site to allow a better view and thus free the stones of the low wall to rebuild it according to the dry-stone construction technique (without mortar) by showing creativity to make the place as pleasant as possible. We will work around 30 hours per week. Evenings and weekends are free for activities that you will choose and organise together.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in individual tents at the campsite Les Catoyes in the town of Sainte Colombe, 4km from the work camp (the journeys between the site and the campsite will be made by minibus). You will take part in turn in the different missions of daily life according to a planning that you will define with the animation team. These missions are to make sure that the camp is clean, to elaborate the menus, to do the shopping (local products are preferred), to prepare the meals for the group (vegetarian, vegan and other specific diets are possible), to organise the leisure activities and outings. Lunches will be cold because it will be taken on the site. Bring a mattress, a good sleeping bag (the nights can be cold) and a pillow. To be adapted according to your needs.
