Program Details

In summer, for those who prefer, there’s the option to sleep in a caravan near the forest or in a tent.

Important Information for Winter Stays

During winter, heating is provided through a wood-burning stove. Volunteers are responsible for keeping the stove lit in the areas where they sleep and eat.

We provide all the firewood, but volunteers must maintain the fire themselves.

Lifestyle & Expectations

This is a simple, nature-based lifestyle that can sometimes be demanding. We welcome volunteers who truly appreciate living close to nature and understand its challenges.

Please note that this is not a hotel. It’s very important that volunteers respect the agreed schedules and the help requested.

In the past, some volunteers arrived expecting to be served or to sleep in until late, which is not aligned with the values and daily routine of our project.
