Activities & Shift

We ask our volunteers to help us out for 5 days a week, 6 hours a day.
Days and schedules will vary depending on the work that you are assigned to, so flexibility is an important quality and extra effort is appreciated.

One of our aims is to give you an unforgettable experience. You will be part of an extremely professional and highly motivated team. Not only can you learn a lot from us on a professional level, but we also provide the opportunity for you to take different nature related courses and workshops.
So if you like to learn more about edible plants, food and digestion, fire, prehistoric cooking techniques and Earth Skills, survival and much more, we will gladly teach you this.

In your free time, you are allowed to make use of our kayaks, bikes, fishing equipment, row boats and join excursions if possible.

After you have contacted us, we will ask you to fill in our application forms and have some video meetings to get to know each other. After we both agreed, we can discuss your tasks -we always take your skills and whishes into consideration-, and before you come to us we should have expressed our mutual expectations so there will be no surprises during your stay with us.

We prefer non smokers, no alcohol abuse and absolutely no drug-use. We are not allowed to offer positions to non EU members, so if you have not a European nationality, we cannot accept you.
You will be asked to agree and sign our house rules and Company policies. These will be offered after we have approved your application.
