We’re looking for volunteers to join us for 2025. We are still in the beginning of the camp season and and working both with preperations and to take care of guests. We are especially looking for volunteers over 25, but we’re open to hearing from anyone with a willingness to help—so don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d love to have you be part of our little community! Read on to learn more about us and what we offer.
We are looking for volunteers for our campsite, which is located one hour south of Oslo. We are a non-profit foundation, which was established in the 1950s and our guests are children and youth groups of 40-100 people. Our groups can be anything from scouts, students, families, schools, religious groups, marching bands and choirs. We have rabbits and free-range goats and chickens and very nice outdoor areas. Our high-season is summer, but we also have some visiting groups throughout the rest of the year, especially at weekends. In the summer, longer camps are more common, and we offer services such as board and lodging and cleaning.
Our non-profit foundation campsite has been run by us for the last two years. We are Tor Magnus and Ingrid, and we live here with our two children Herman and Hedvig. Here, in the last 10 years we have been lucky to have many volunteers to help us with the daily tasks. Without the volunteers' contributions, it would not have been possible to run the camp and make the upgrades we have had in recent years.
We offer a stay in a social environment and we usually have many volunteers here at the same time. Depending on the size of the projects and how many guests we have, we are mostly a group of 4-8 volunteers. We are looking for people who are handy,loves to cook, likes gardening and outdoor tasks, have a good sense of order and can work independently, but also like to help as a team. We offer varied tasks. Anyways, when so many of us live close together, the characteristic for us is that you are tidy and that you get along easily with other people. The spoken language at the Campsite is English.Our expectation is 25 hours of work per week. Being part of a non-profit NGO, we're sorry to say there are no opportunities to give any payment.
We are privileged to have many people who would like to stay with us, long-term is preferred.
We're looking forward to hearing from you!
Best regards,
Ingrid, Tor Magnus, our son Herman (3year) and Hedvig (1year) + a cat, 2 goats, 3 rabbits, 10 hens, some chickens and 1 rooster 🐥 :-)
