My experience in the camping and the restaurant was amazing. Arnoud is an excellent leader, flexible, helpful, great with conflict resolution and always helping us with groceries. In the camping the tasks were simple and collaborative: cleaning, organizing, helping residents and your fellow volunteers in the kitchen. Working in the restaurant was the best, I was able to talk with locals and practice my Dutch. We also had plenty of free time, enough to explore the cities nearby Almere, like Amsterdam. In overall, it was amazing and I highly recommend for those looking for the camping experience.

The Cafe is really nice, and so is the Chef. I had some really amazing volunteers around me, so the work felt more like a continuous hangout, although we did our responsibilities as professionally as possible. We had a lot of fun! :D The camping ground is pretty chill, although kinda cold, definitely due to the time of year. All amenities provided, thought the internet does work best near the toilet area. As for food, depending on who was volunteering where, they would either get their meals from the Cafe, with the knowledge of the Chef, or buy it themselves and get reimbursed later.

The whole experience was really great, I met people with whom I shared good moments, good experiences, and good conversations. I'll cherish it a lot. Sleeping in the caravan was an experience. Arnoud covered all the food expenses, I worked at the camping which was quite calm, and hanging out at the restaurant was really fun. I will come back

Job is easy and staying in the camping is beautiful. Arnoud is always available to have a talk regarding anything about the job and creativity is allowed here. You can even choose what you want to do so if you feel more comfortable working at the restaurant you can ask to work there. If you like gardening you can ask to do that and if you are nice to ask then the answer is going to be yes. Arnoud is very friendly and easy to deal with
