Types of help and learning opportunities

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The Sunshine Coast of BC is an amazing place full of nature and wonder. It is wilderness and yet you have easy access to city amenities. While on our property you will encounter seals, whales, orcas, various birds and other wildlife. The ocean has wonderful swimming and you can explore by kayak or paddle-board. We are at the entrance to the Sunshine Coast Trail, an amazing 180km journey through the coastal mountains and lakes. Any short trip to Powell River takes you to local restaurants, craft breweries, shopping and more. An easy ferry ride takes you to Vancouver Island or to Vancouver its self. We will introduce you to Canadian culture and explain how things work in Canada for young people and students. We speak english, polish and french.
Help
Our off grid property on the Sunshine Coast of BC is on a small island. We are continually working to improve the property and the buildings on site. We would need assistance with clearing forest and bushes, making forest trails, building fences, preparing land for gardening, building a solar panel racking system, construction of some out buildings, removing an old deck and replacing with new one, painting railings and decks, digging a trench for the water line, and various other outdoor projects. You should be outdoorsy and adventuresome.
