Kuruluş
Get to know Finnish countryside and village life! In this camp volunteers join the local cooperative on their work to restore the historical vicarage area in Teisko village and create a location for both community life, cultural center and travel destination for those looking to embrace sustainable lifestyles and nature. The old vicarage area with lakeside location in the island is considered a heritage landscape in Finland.
İş Tanımı
Volunteers participate in the renovation works of the historical buildings, such as the lakeside sauna and the outhouse, which was designed by an architect. Most of the work is done by hand tools and environmentally friendly materials. Volunteers will also participate in the garden work and may help with the upkeep of the nature trail that goes around the island. A work supervisor with the necessary competencies will oversee the work of volunteers.
Volunteers should bring clothes and shoes that are suitable for physical outdoors work and that can get dirty and worn. Rubber boots and raincoats are recommended as at times Finnish summer weather can be cool and rainy.
Konaklama ve Yemek
Volunteers will stay at the old vicarage building in shared rooms in smaller groups. The accommodation is upstairs and the stairway is not suitable for people with mobility restrictions. Beds, bed linen and pillows will be provided to the volunteers. Showers and toilets are shared. The participants will make their own meals.
In the free time volunteers have the opportunity to play garden games, swim, visit nearby nature parks and tennis/badminton fields or try rowing as a team with the traditional church boat.

We trust that the impact of our travels is a shared concern and if you can, please prefer more eco-friendly options than taking a plane.
Some SCI workcamps will have an additional fee of €50.00. This will cover e.g. international insurance costs of the volunteer and a small travel fund to enable disadvantaged volunteers to join projects. If you apply through a partner organization you will pay the fee directly to the hosting branch according to their instructions.
