You will work 2 x 5 days supporting the cooperative maintaining meadows and pastures, care the forest, cutting back bushes and little trees and prepare firewood for the central heating of the house. You will also be harvesting blackberries in the garden of the cooperative and do different gardening work. You will be working with different tools as e.g. pruning shears, shovels or machetes. The tasks depend also on the weather and they are usually physically demanding. Insect stings on the workcamp site are possible to happen.

You will enjoy your sleep in the loft of the barn or in tents. Please, bring your sleeping bag. The accommodation is simple and humble and the sleeping place tends to be rather cool. There are beds, mattresses and blankets (the workcamp hosting partner is happy to provide you with additional covers). It has two showers (one solar shower outside and a usual one inside) and a common room. There is a washing machine. WiFi is available, although only in one room. If the weather is nice and you enjoy camping, you can bring your own tent and set it outside, as the big territory allows it.

The cooperative Gipsgrueb is situated outside the village of Ehrendingen, in a small calm valley at the foot of the last mountain of the Jura-range. The over-100-years-old buildings of a former cement factory were left unattended for many years. Since the taking-over by the cooperative „Gipsgrueb“ in 1982 a garden and a farm were built up on the agricultural land. Since the beginning both were run on the guidelines of organic farming. The area occupied by the cooperative was about 14ha consisting mainly of extensive pastures & meadows, woods & ponds. 15 years ago most of the land was sold to Pro Natura, the Swiss nature conservation organisation. Today, the farm is run by a young local tenant with a little troop of goats and the garden mainly serves the personal needs of the community.

Max. 2 minor volunteers living in Switzerland are accepted.
This is a child-friendly camp, children from 6 years old are welcome. Max. 2 children can join the workcamp (they are included in the total number of volunteers).
Volunteers will cook and do the shopping on their own. At the weekend we can visit some nice spots of Switzerland together if wished.
The cooperative also runs a solar panels workshop, as solar panels are used to produce hot water from spring to autumn. In winter, a central heating produces thermal energy by burning the cooperative’s own wood. In addition to the public network, wells on the territory which belong to the cooperative provide fresh water. At the moment, 7 people belong to the community living there, trying to turn their ideas and dreams into reality.

Het inschrijfgeld voor dit project bedraagt € 345, exclusief € 50 korting voor studenten en jongeren onder de 18.
