The Experience

We are a very special nature space WITHIN the Amsterdam city limits. Before the summer season we could use help with general outdoor maintenance, such as gardening, pick up logs, making natural fences, painting and other handy work. Please send me your motivation and experience and make sure your profile has pictures and / or videos.

The establishment Claudia and Minne has built here is a very good one. They find good, respectful people to help nurture that positive environment to work, sleep, and even hangout in. They are wonderful people who live full lives with a lot of passion in what they do, both in their place and in their community. I've always felt listened to and taken care of while I've stayed for my month, and despite how busy they got, they would stop to check in to make sure everything was going well in my stay. I'm deeply happy about my stay, and hope to come again next year. Thank you Claudia and family!

I had a lovely time. Claudia and Minne are very welcoming and we had a super nice group of other volunteers also working at the lodge. The work with the children is very fun and creative, and you have the opportunity to bring your own energy and ideas to the experience each day. The caravan was comfortable and in a lovely green location, the lodge(!), although we did clean it ourselves in the beginning. There was good variety with the food to cook with. Overall, I very much enjoyed the experience, it was very rewarding, and I would really recommend to others!!
