📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The town of „Weil der Stadt“, located close to Stuttgart, organizes annually a summer-camp for kids: There are about 95 children taking part each year. In the first two weeks of summer holidays, they get picked up in the morning, spend their day at a holiday house and return in the afternoon at 5. On Friday, there’s one overnight-stay and a common breakfast. Saturday afternoon and Sunday are free. This year, a group of international volunteers will be welcomed for the first time, to support the day care activities.
💼 What the programme involves
The children are 6-12 years old. They may participate for just one of the two weeks or both. Together with a group of German caregivers, you will support their free-time program. You are welcome to bring your own games, songs and ideas!
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will stay directly in Weil der Stadt. Camp beds, sanitary facilities and a kitchen are provided. During the week you will eat your lunch with the children and don’t need to cook.
📍 About the location
Weil der Stadt is a town with almost 20.000 inhabitants. It has a very nice historical centre and is located at the outskirts of the Black Forest – perfect for hiking, if you’re up to it! Also, public transportation is good, so you can easily reach BW’s capital Stuttgart, as well as Karlsruhe or Pforzheim.
ℹ️ Additional information
To participate, it is not necessary to speak German; however, it is a big help for sure, since the children don’t speak English. Some of the kids have an international background, so you might be able to communicate with some of them in your mother tongue. NOTE: Please attach a Motivation Letter with your application! We would like to know, what’s your motivation to work with children, if you have any experiences in this field and if you speak (a bit) of German.
