Camp Alta

Camp Alta is more than just a place to stay, it’s an experience. Whether you're drawn by the adventure, the culture, or the chance to live in one of the most remote and stunning parts of the world, volunteering here will give you memories and skills that last a lifetime. If you're adaptable, adventurous, and eager to be part of a dynamic team, we’d love to welcome you!

Joining us for the summer, you step into a world of endless daylight and breathtaking Arctic landscapes! Nestled on the shores of a stunning lake, surrounded by wild forests, Camp Alta is the perfect place to experience the magic of Swedish Lapland during the warmer months.
Here, you’ll have the chance to explore vast hiking trails, pick up the best berries ever and try your luck at fishing under the golden glow of the Midnight Sun.

Joining us for the winter, you embark on an unforgettable adventure! Situated on the foot of a beautiful Arctic lake, amidst the natural forests, our camp is a perfect place to enjoy the stunning beauty of the Swedish Lapland. You will have several chances to drive a snowmobile on a frozen river, spot some reindeer who visit us often and learn to work effectively on different tasks in tourism industry. In your free time, you can enjoy winter sports, such as cross-country skiing, and jump into a frozen lake after a rejuvenating sauna session. And of course, endlessly marvel at the magical Northern Lights dancing above our heads several days a week. If you are looking for adventure, you have come to the right place!

We understand and appreciate the wealth of diverse perspectives that individuals from different backgrounds and cultures contribute when working together as a team. Workers at Camp Alta come from India, Sweden, France, Poland, Netherlands, Colombia and you will become another valuable member of our international team. We come from different places but what brought us together was a true infatuation with the North and a deep desire to share it with other people. We love the place we call our home. As we are devoted to making the magic of the North accessible to every adventurer, we thought about inviting people who'd love to spend few weeks or months in this beautiful place without having to pay for the stay, and perhaps fell in love in it just as we all did! We see it as a fantastic opportunity to connect and share stories and experiences, and we hope to learn from each other. In turn, we'd use some helping hand, as our seasons are busy but we want to make sure that you have the time and space to enjoy all the great things the Arctic has to offer and we will happy to help you uncover its charm!

This was my first-ever volunteering experience, and I am glad I chose to come to Camp Alta! If you are the type of person who truly enjoys nature, don't think twice! It's truly a beautiful location. I loved waking up in the morning, not knowing which day of the week it was, to enjoy a warm cup of coffee next to the lake, which looked as if it were a painting. I also enjoy saunas a lot, so naturally I really enjoyed using the sauna and taking a dip in the cold lake. This experience made me realise and confirm which kind of environment I'd prefer to live in the future. Thank you, Camp Alta!

I would recommend this place if you’re looking for something peaceful, quiet and some time to reflect. I’ve learned so much just by being here. The sauna is to die for, the lake is gorgeous, the staff is nice, friendly and helpful, the hours agreed are always respected and the work is never too hard. Thank you so much for this experience!! I loved every second of it! :)

I couldn’t ask for a better first volunteer experience. The camp, surrounded by nature, is like a little paradise where you can truly enjoy a slower way of life. The tasks were simple, and the team was always ready to help, friendly, and genuinely caring about how you were feeling. I will never forget the friends I made and the warmth I received during this time. Beyond the work itself, what made the experience so special was the sense of community.

I feel very fulfilled after spending an entire month in Camp Alta.
All the crew are amazing people, willing to help u whenever you need it, it feels somehow like a little family, and the people and bonds I created in here I will remember it all my life. The tasks were very easy and it didn't took me more than 3-4 hours per day to be done. The enviroment and the place are simply wonderful.
I wish I can be back for the winter season, but for now all I can say is that i feel I have a safe place in here and strong bonds that I will always carry in my memories.

Amazing place to stay!
The location is beautiful in summer with the lake and the crazy colors in the midnight sun. The private accommodation is nice and the team makes sure nobody works more than what is planned.
