Newsletter Nr. 12, July 2010


Dear reader

We have record temperatures. Everybody who has the chance cools down at the closest river or sea. Mild summer evenings, heavy thunderstorms and oppressive weather gets us in the mood for holidays. Why to go on holiday far away when you can experience your home, Swit-zerland. We still have free places in our international Swiss workcamps. Do a meaningful work, meet people from all over the world and experience the beautiful sites of Switzerland. If you hunger for trips, we can also offer you a wide range of camps in Europe. Or if you want to take a time out, join our longterm camps.

Book two - pay one

For all those who want to go last minute, we offer a discount. Book two workcamps and you just pay for one. This discount applies for all biweekly workcamps in Switzerland, Europe or overseas. There are still some last minute places left. Sign up today and go already next day to your chosen workcamp.

The complete program can be found via our online search engine. Choose your criterias such as countries, period or type of camps to limit the choice. This makes your search much easier.

Contact us, we will assist you with finding the right workcamp: info@workcamp.ch or 043 317 19 30.

Voluntary work for our association

Are you proactive, creative and motivated for a voluntary job in your free time? Would you like to share your knowledge and experiences with our association board? Voluntary work for our association guarantees exciting and varying tasks, experiences in extra-school youth work, contacts to people from all over the world and a challenge which sticks out in your cv.

Since we are a small association, we are glad about any support. Experiences in association works are preferred, but not a must-have.

Planning for the upcoming season is already in process, so we are happy about your help.

Interested? Please contact our president Andreas Schneider, andreas.schneider@workcamp.ch.
