Volunteers will mark the tracks and put them into order for mountain bike marathon that will be held on August, 21st. This is the first year that we organize Point to point type of marathon so we need hardworking and responsible volunteers that we can rely on. Work considers removing the fallen trunks as well as cutting the weed and berry bushes out of the tracks. By marking the tracks we think of making point arrows and placing them on crossroads. Also, we need to put some plastic straps as guide lines for competitors and to collect them after the marathon is over. Volunteers will be placed at check points and in Feeding zones offering refreshments to competitors. Our organization is making efforts in order Jastrebac Mountain to become a quiet place. After we finish work on tracks for MTB, we are organizing unplugged music festival on 27th and 28th of August. Festival has its own purpose, which is to remind the locals of modern people s need for spending time in peaceful places thus making an influence on noise reduction on the mountain. Volunteers on festival will help in organization. There will be no hard work because concept of festival considers end of whole program not after midnight and contents of festival are all peaceful in every sense
Accomodation & food:
in the Mountain shelter. There are beds with sheets but it is recommended to bring your sleeping beg along for possible trips and sleepovers in the open. Tents will be provided if needed
Location & leisure:
Jastrebac Mountain is close to Krusevac, 190km South-East of Belgrade
Requirements:
We don t expect harder work and the hardest thing to do during the camp will be riding a bike what should not be a problem for at least recreational riders. It would be very good if the volunteers have some history in MTB and to bring their bike along because most of the time will be spent on bikes so it is better for them to have a bike they are used to. They could also rent a bike on Jastrebac or In Krusevac. Price for renting a bike is 50euro for the duration of whole camp. Renting a bike also includes spare tubes and mechanical services. Helmet is not necessary but it is strongly recommended to have one. Price for renting a helmet is 1euro for a day or 10euro for whole camp
« I would recommend participating in a workcamp, especially with VAP, who ensured that I found a project to suit me and provided essential training for me in preparation for my trip. Being part of a workcamp really is a life-changing experience, oh, and it looks great on your CV! »
