Program Details

We don't offer tent, only camping site, so you should bring your own tent if you wish to. Otherwise, we have a charming chalet available, complete with a kitchen, living room, bathroom, and two bedrooms. Additionally, we offer another bedroom in my own house (the volunteers house and my house are quite close to each other).

- For digital nomads, there are 2 rooms that can be used as home-office. The internet is a satellite provider.

- There is a parking area for campervans/motorhomes, specific areas for camping, and one chalet with one bedroom, one house with two bedrooms, and an additional bedroom in my own house — the houses and chalet with private kitchens and bathrooms.

Activities & Shift

We would expect 3-4 hours/day, 5 days a week (2 days off), and we expect to stay at least a week
