Program Details

We try to make volunteering at Sails a fun experience. You wake up in your own glamping tent which you share with other volunteers. You can make yourself breakfast with everything on the staff table, sometimes we have specials (F.e. if we have pancake day), you can also make yourself lunch (leftovers, a sandwich or whatever is in the staff fridge), and for dinner we have a warm home cooked meal every night. If you are not on shift your welcome to enjoy the pool, our hammocks, go explore the island, use our second hand bikes or simply enjoy a beach day (Which is a 10-minute walk). In the summer we work together with family, staff and volunteers so you can be as sociable as you want and go do something together as well of course.
We provide a bed, storage, linnen and towels for you so you do not have to worry about that as well.


Activities & Shift

Every week on Sunday we have the roster going up for the following week which tells us what shift you will be working and what your day off will be, this can change from week to week. We ask you to be flexible but will always talk to you first before scheduling in if anything is out of the ordinairy


Rules

- Be respectful and kind toward the guests and colleagues
- Handle equipment and accommodation with respect
