Variety is guaranteed in this camp in the lovely Spremberg! The “Camp Bohsdorf” at the lake Felixsee is a youth center in the middle of the forest. Your main task is to further build and decorate the outdoor area of this center (for example fixing paths, design, painting, planting etc.). The concrete tasks can only be defined once you are there depending on the current state of the renovations. In the city of Spremberg you will have the opportunity to get to know a bit about integrative work with the refugee families in the shared accommodation, and you will be able to enrich this work with your own ideas to keep the children entertained. If the covid-situation allows it, you will be able to take part and contribute to public events in Spremberg, like for example public movie nights. As well as all of this, you will also have the opportunity to be creative and artistically engaged throughout the camp, for example doing crafts with soapstones. This year will be the 19th time that an international Workcamp takes place in Spremberg. It is possible that changes to the project could be made as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
