In Hillerød, we offer a variety of summer activities for kids (7-15 years) during their summer vacation. In week 27 we will have an action-packed program for this part of Hillerød – "Hillerød's Cultural Axis". Right now, the activities are "work in progress", but as soon as we have a plan, we will send it to the work camp participants.
We plan to have:
• Workshops with music, drama, sewing, painting etc• Playgrounds with skating rinks, scooters, graffiti, live action role-playing games • "Social zones", where you can talk to other kids/adults, read books or play board games
The camp will have different activities for the first and second week:
First week:
Preparations for the coming week with activities for kids.
Second week:
Kids' Summer Activities in action from Monday to Friday The program will mainly take place during daytime from approx. 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. However, there will be some evening activities as well.
Accomodation & food:
Sleeping facilities:Børnehuset Buen offers fine accommodation with beds for everyone in group rooms of up to 6 people. And participants do not have to bring sheets, linen, pillows or sleeping bags. There are very nice living rooms, where the group can hang out and relax. And there is also a working room with a large table and chairs for everyone. Kitchen + bathroom facilities: There is a nice kitchen with everything you need to make meals to large groups. There are many toilets around the house, but there is only one bathroom, so the camp participants must work out a "shower-plan". Hillerød Volunteer Center and the library also have showers, so there should be no problem. We will be back with more detailed information about purchase of groceries. But the camp participants will have to prepare all three meals for the group during the whole camp - with a few exceptions, where they will be invited to dinner by some of the hosts. There is a washing machine and a dryer. And the cleaning company of Børnehuset Buen will take care of the everyday cleaning of the house.

« I can say that the best things about the workcamp and this whole experience were the chance of making a real difference to the lives of very needy children. This is an extremely valuable project where volunteers can have a massive impact. Also the possibility of learning a huge amount about a country so different from our own. I learnt ten times as much by carrying out a workcamp than I would ever do backpacking. »
