Volunteer at a campsite near a beautiful lake in Portugal
Country: Portugal
Last Activity: 25/08/2011
Description
We own a small rural campsite which is situated on a hectare parcel of land. The area is rich in opportunities for entertainment and recreation. There is a man-made lake located 4 kilometres from the campsite. It is the cleanest lake in Europe and an idyllic spot to spend your leisure time. Sometimes we organise a picnic at the lake as well as a weekly barbecue.
In spring we need help getting the vegetable gardens ready for the season. Also we start getting the campsite ready for the season: mowing the terrain, taking care of paintwork, carpenter work and lots of cleaning. All hands are welcome, no special skills are needed as long as you like nature, hard working in a nice atmosphere and combining work and laughter!

We take real good care with food and beverage! We look for people with experience in gardening and working with plants and terrain and people who know about building, constructing and renovating. We take people for 4 weeks maximum.
We work together to get some jobs done, there is always time to do other things and to enjoy this place. Some days we all work really hard, other days we have time to relaxe. But in the end some work has to be done! There is no internet access, in the village there is an internet cafe, which is for free also printing possibility. Also there is a library for free.

We are three retired women! And we have spent four weeks with Lied & Jo!! From the beginning we were worried how we could manage the tasks. But immediately we felt a warm atmosphere and welcoming. Lied and Jo made our time so interesting and informative. We had many nice trips and many fun evenings. We played Plump and laughed together. more
