Arctic Motell & Kautokeino Camping
You are most welcome here to the Arctic family!
You will only work 4 hours per day. It will be easy tasks, and you will have plenty of time to explore the nearby area. You will have access to the Sauna, breakfast and washing machine for free. There will be a shared volunteer cabin. You will have access to modern common showers, toilets and kitchen. In the evenings at the camping, we make coffee on the fire in the Lavvo (traditional sami tent) and hang out with the guests. You are also welcome to experience this.
You will get the opportunity for valuable experience in work related to reception, customer service, tourism and business.
Kautokeino is a beautiful place and has amazing nature and rich culture to offer.
At Arctic you will be welcomed with open arms. The camping is run by the Kristensen family since 1966. Both the guests and the family are very friendly and open people.

Gunne Elisabeth and Henriette are fantastic hosts! They are so welcoming and great at integrating volunteers into the day-to-day of their family business. So grateful I had the opportunity to volunteer and would recommend the experience to anyone interested in spending some time in the north!

I spent a month at Arctic Motel and had a memorable time. I spent my work hours doing various tasks throughout the campsite, collaborating with fantastic groups of people. Gunn Elisabeth and Henriette were perfect hosts and incredibly welcoming.

I had a great experience.
If someone is looking for a place far away from the fast life, and needs his own space to do some own work, and experiencing something different this is the place.
When I was there it was a midnight sun which is something really cool to experience.
Try to be social and curios, that’s what I did, and made friendships for life with the family members and the managers.
I will come back for sure.

Kautokeino is a really nice place where you can relax and take a breath from the fast life or just to connect more with nature, they made me felt part of the family, they were super respectful with the working times, the days off, and super helpful with anything I could need, they really cared about my experience, I highly recommend this experience, it was mainly housekeeping tasks but simple, as well as in reception which was not so much work bc of the season, you can also live the Sami culture, I left happy from the place :)

Hannah and Enriqueta are very nice people. You will be with them. I only have good words to describe them.
It is fun to work at the campsite because you can interact with people from outside, and learn about other cultures.
