Programme
Service summer camp
Cooking, living and working together on a project useful to the place we live in. The camp ends with something real, not a group photo.
The idea
Identity is not formed by a lecture but by work done together. A week of cooking for each other, sleeping under one roof and finishing something hard teaches more than ten talks about culture.
How the week runs
- Day one: forming teams, choosing the project, splitting the work.
- Four days in the middle: work morning and afternoon, group programme in the evening.
- Final day: handing the result to whoever receives it, and looking back together.
- The young people share out all the cooking and cleaning themselves.
Who it is for
Young people aged 15–24. No prior skills needed, only the willingness to spend a week living communally and working with your hands.
Cost and applications
We keep the contribution as low as we can and hold supported places for families under strain — nobody is turned away over money. Dates and the application form go up before each summer.
