This year Base Nature Vercors and the company La Malle aux Libertes propose to the children of the social centers and leisure centers to participate as puppeteers in the Puppets in Nature week. As volunteers, you will be an integral part of the organization. During the first week, you will participate in the preparation of the site (cleaning, painting, decorations), in the creation of a nature castellet for the children s shows, in the preparation of games and evening parties for the children as well as in the promotion of the festival (creation of posters, collage, distribution). You will also participate in the creation of a show. During the second week, you will welcome groups of children and the public, participate in the preparation of the shows and the lighting, organize outdoor games and evening parties and help with the puppeteers workshops. You will also be asked to produce a report for the website. This workcamp will allow you to use your creativity and to be empowered.

You will be accommodated in tents on the site of la Grange aux loups and you will have sanitary facilities and showers on site. An outdoor kitchen and a living space will also be at your disposal. To facilitate relations within the group, cell phones, by mutual agreement, will only be available for one hour per day (usually at shower time).With the help of your counselors, you will actively participate in the organization of daily life: preparation of meals, washing up, tidying up, cleaning, maintenance of the garden. As much as possible, the meals will be prepared with local and organic products corresponding to the particular attention paid by the Base Nature Vercors association to the management of resources and waste on the site and to the origin of the food. From this point of view, you will certainly reduce your consumption of meat and thus your impact on the planet. Lovers of outdoor life, this workcamp is made for you
