Sleeping facilities:Everybody on the summer camp will be sleeping in tents. Therefore, it is important to bring a sleeping bag and a sleeping bag underlay. Brandkadetter i Danmark will provide tents. In Copenhagen, you will sleep at a local fire station in a large classroom or gym hall. Kitchen + bathroom facilities: During the summer camp, there will be a volunteering unit, that will be in charge of grocery shopping and catering for the 200 participants. As a volunteer, you will have tasks in the kitchen, and you will eat together with the rest of the participants. There will be festival toilets and shower facilities. In Copenhagen you will have regular toilet and shower facilities. Brandkadetter i Danmark will provide groceries and you will have access to a kitchen.

You will spend your time on Femø from Wednesday the 28th of June until Sunday the 2nd of July. Since we will be working with the youth, alcohol, drugs and/or narcotics of any kind are strictly forbidden at all times also on the local fire station. Should this not be met, you will be expelled from the summer camp/programme at your own cost. In between the volunteering tasks on Femø there will be some spare time, so you will get the chance to experience the beautiful island. You are allowed to move freely on the island, which holds hills, a cosy yacht harbour, and beautiful beaches where you can swim. It is possible to rent bicycles (own cost). All meals will be consumed at the summer camp.The day before and the days after the summer camp you will be accommodated in a local fire station in Copenhagen. Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark. The city has lots to offer; the great amusement park Tivoli, The Little Mermaid, the harbour area Nyhavn, where you can take a boat tour on the charming canals in Copenhagen and a lot of great places to eat and drink. Copenhagen also has a lot of green parks and beaches.
