Descrição
We’re looking for volunteers to join us for 2025. Current projects include insulate a summer cabin, building beds, and building a deck. While we’re especially looking for skilled workers over 25, 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 now looking for people who are handy, have technical or carpentry skills, like gardening and helping outside, are good at social media, have a good sense of order, can help independently and 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 🐥 :-)Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

Hello Tor and Ingrid, I hope everyone is doing well.

Warmhearted, easygoing, friendly and with her mind the right place I can absolute recommend Meike for her next journey:-)

If he knocks on your door, say yes:)

Hvis jeg kommer tilbake til Oslo vil jeg definitivt komme for å si hei.

He's a very pleasant person to have around and his Norwegian skills impressed. Those who get him in as an employee in a company or as a volunteer will get a dedicated new member in their group.

He's a peaceful, friendly guy who's not afraid of getting his hands dirty. Always helping, and if there's a task he doesn't know - be sure that he'll find a way to figure it out. In the beginniang he was a bit sceptic to kitchen duty, but, along the way he could take charge when we had… read more
