The volunteering at Life Time Sports was very good! The place is incredible, by the canals and a lake full of ducks and swans. The accommodations are good and comfortable. The food is incredibly free. You have access to many sports facilities. . The staff is young and welcoming. My only concern is about the language. Since it is a German company, all the staff who work at the campsite are German and speak German. So, during times when everyone is together, I usually didn't feel included. But my time at the campsite was mostly good! Thank you for everything, everyone! I learn a lot!!

It was a tremendous experience, totally unforgettable, one of the best volunteers I have ever experienced, the German guys from Sasha to the surf teachers were very kind and very friendly, they made me feel part of the place; I was able to learn windsurfing, try many foods, I enjoyed nice moments at the parties with the games; I really recommend it, the place is wonderful, the lake, its spectacular views, and the work was perfect, specified, nothing out of the established, everything was correct; so I totally recommend this volunteering. Thank you for everything!! You are the best!

My experience at life time sport was a lot of fun! The team was very welcoming and made sure everyone had a good time. The location of the camp is really nice if you'd like to do some windsurfing or other water sports. You can even kite surf there from time to time. I would 100% recommend life time sport and will definitely come back.

Staying at lifetime sports was super cool. Only nice people, work was fun and communication was good as well. As the camp is directly connected to the veluwemeer, you have the chance to try out windsurfing, SUP and Kayking. Also, kitesurfing is possible if there's enough wind. Work hours were flexible and I was able to take a day off, as long as the 25h/week were fulfilled and everything was communicated in advance. All in all a very pleasant stay and I would definitely recommend this place for everyone who loves the outdoors and watersports!
