Being able to live above the Arctic circle during the winter months was such a unique experience. It was very magical to have auroras dancing out your window, cozy nights around the fire, and riding fast on the snowmobiles. It's very true that the people make a place. the camping is stunning but can be lonely at times if you do not make the effort to get to know the other volunteers and staff. If you're looking for an experience to get away from the busy world, you should volunteer here! My boyfriend and I had an impactful two months and will miss the people dearly!

The camping is absolutely beautiful and has some of the best views of northern lights in the winter. The free tours and activities are so nice! We really enjoyed group dinners and hanging out with the other volunteers. The only reason I'm giving it 4/5 is because the camping is quite remote and the work can be a bit isolating. Most work is done individually and there is not much to visit outside of the camping. However, I would still recommend the experience because the team is so kind, caring, and generous. The team truly cares about making sure the volunteers have a good time are good company!

I worked at the camping mostly at the reception and did some cleaning as well. Even though it was low season and not too much going on I had really lovely conversations with guests and was satisfied to help them. The lovely team members were very welcoming, funny and showed me everything. Compared to all my other volunteer stays I had the most luxury accommodation - a cabin with double bed, my own fridge and even an air fryer. the camping is surrounded by stunning nature for really good hiking. Often it is some kilometers to reach the paths but team members always dropped me off where I wanted to.
