Camp Village Bergheim 2 – KidZ & GENeraTionZ (NRW)

You volunteer in a summer village for different (age) groups. Over 3 weeks of various activities await you while you assist in a summer camp for children, teenagers and young families near Cologne. The summer village officially opens on the 19th of July and several weeks of program for children and teenagers will have already happened when your camp starts.

Your project starts with the arrival of a children group aged 7 to 12 (KidZ 10.-14.8.) and a week full of activities with and for the young participants. Your job will be to help with different types of workshops, where the children can try out different types of sport, creative activities, do arts and crafting or simply chill or play games.

The second week (GENeraTionZ 16.-22.8.) is dedicated to families and presents a mix of generations from parents to small children and everything in between.

In the last days your job will be helping with the dismantling of the infrastructure, which gets stored away until the next year.

Aside from helping with the program, there will also be “backstage” tasks, such as taking shifts in the “bar” or cleaning the sanitary facilities. Another responsibility is the night duty: Since the participants are under-age, someone always needs to stay awake. Don’t worry, you won’t need to stay up the whole night and you won’t need to do it alone. It can easily turn into a nice long campfire-evening with friends. It is very important to the local team that you feel and become part of one big group of teamers.
