Spring Camp Berlin

Work
#Berlin_the_place_to_be

If you have always wanted to visit Berlin, then this camp is the right calling for you. Besides the supportive work at our project center you will have plenty of time to explore this unique city.

The project center is located between the banks at the lake (Langer See) and a nearby forest part. It is the perfect spot to enjoy the silence away from the city life. At the same time it is also the location of the workcamp and your accommodation for the period of the workcamp. The property includes two main buildings and six bungalows and has plenty of recreational and leisure activities to offer for our guests and seminar groups. We need your support to prepare the project center for the next season. These are simple tasks, like raking of leaves, piled and loaded onto a vehicle or maintenance/renovation work inside and outside the buildings. In simple words, the property of our project center needs to get in shape for the season and that is why we need your help.
