WHV ROCK CARVINGS

CODE: ALLI03

Work:

The volunteers will help with the green area maintenance in the bronze age farm and around the rock carvings. The group should be ready for hands-on activities and working outdoors. The volunteers also assist in preparing for the summer solstice event, which is held during the camp. Those midsummer preparations include picking flowers, dressing the maypole, and talking to our visitors about the event.

Accomodation and food

The accommodation is located between the museum and a forest. There are small cottages with bunk beds and cooking facilities. Bathrooms and showers are located in a nearby building. The volunteers will cook most of their meals together as a group.

Location and leisure

Countryside on the west coast of Sweden. Around the world heritage area there are forests and lakes and lots of hiking trails. Not far from Tanum lies the coast, with restaurants, shops, beaches and beautiful cliffs by the ocean. In their free time the volunteers will have the opportunity to get to know Swedish nature, the world heritage area and on certain occasions go to the popular seaside town of Grebbestad. On Friday it is midsummer, and you will have the option of participating in a midsummer celebration. A traditional Swedish midsummer is best celebrated on the west coast of Sweden, so you are definitely in the right place to experience it
