Build – connect – experience nature!

CODE: ijgd 76116

Work:

Would you like to spend your free time with others at a camp by a lake, far away from the hustle and bustle of the big city? You want to get out, do something practical and get actively involved? Then this work camp near Spremberg might be just the right thing for you.

Let’s build something big! Together we’ll create a larger-than-life board game for kids and families—like a giant dice game with international elements that works indoors and outdoors. We’ll also design and craft decorative elements to brighten up the camp, including the overall color concept. For the geocaching trail around the lake, you’re welcome to place new caches. We’d love to include your creative ideas!

Accomodation and food

You will stay in new wooden bungalows in 6-bed rooms in a fenced-in area in the middle of the forest. The communal camp has a central sanitary and social building.

You cook together. You will be provided with money for shopping. Vegetarian or vegan meals are possible. Please indicate any intolerances when registering.

Location and leisure

You can play beach volleyball, beach soccer and table tennis. A barbecue area is also available. In the town of Spremberg itself there are other leisure facilities, e.g. an adventure pool, cinema and a skate park. The unique Spreewald in the region is a paradise for boat and canoe tours. You also have the opportunity to experience the traditional local festival in Spremberg. During the camp there are numerous opportunities to get to know the region and its people
Camp location: Felixsee / Ortsteil Bohsdorf close to Spremberg, Brandenburg, around 30 south of Cottbus
