Work

Volunteers will assist in creating the program for a camp designed for children and youth (age 6 to 30) with disabilities (mostly menthal as autism, down syndrom, a few of them with physical disability like wheelchair) and will also help with child and youth supervision. Their role includes supporting the children and motivating them to participate in activities. The camp theme will be a pirate adventure, so the activities will be inspired by pirates. The first few days will be dedicated to orientation, training, and possibly excursions for the volunteers.
Volunteers will cooperate with Czech assistants and help their fellow campers with daily tasks such as dressing, eating, personal hygiene and participation in the camp program. During the camp, volunteers might work longer hours (from 7:30 AM to 5 PM), nevertheless, there will be enough time to rest and take trips before and after the camp.) Work that involves mental effort can also manifest as physical fatigue. Those who are not used to working with children may not realize how much energy it consumes! Everyone has their own boundaries and limits, so while some may find working with a wheelchair exhausting, others may feel drained by an energetic child they need to constantly chase around…

Accomodation and food

There will be two accommodation places. Before the camp, volunteers will stay at the scout center. The rooms have three beds each, and the showers and toilets are located in the same building. Wi-Fi is available at the accommodation, and a small kitchen will also be accessible. During this time, volunteers will prepare all their meals themselves.
Once the camp starts, volunteers will move to the campsite. They will sleep on mattresses in a shared hall (while the children sleep at their homes). Lunch will be provided, and volunteers will eat together with the children. All dietary requirements can be accommodated.

Location and leisure

Location: The project takes place in the small village of Velky Osek (approximately 2,600 inhabitants), the nearest bigger towns are Podebrady or Kolin. There are small shops in the village, an ATM, and phone coverage is good.

Leisure time: Before and after the camp, volunteers will have enough free time to explore the surroundings or go on trips. Volunteers will have opportunities to hike in the beautiful countryside of the Czech Republic, as well as go on a trip to the marvellous city of Prague/Kutná Hora or spa Poděbrady based on preferences. An international evening will be organized, where each volunteer will have a chance to share the cuisine, culture, and traditions of their country and will learn about the countries of the others.

Study part: Volunteers will learn about different types of disabilities. Through their trained campleaders, they will get to know how to assist the people in their daily life. Volunteers will be able to learn some basic Czech phrases – which will be helpful during the camp.

Work

Volunteers will be involved in weeding and planting new vegetation in the gardens, feeding llamas and sheep by preparing and delivering their food, enhancing animal enclosures through painting and cladding shelters, mowing grass to create new spaces and building fences. They'll also help painting fences, preparing for a final outdoor cultural event, setting up tents and organizing the space. If the weather doesn't cooperate, volunteers will assist with cleaning stables and maintaining farm buildings, ensuring there's always meaningful work to be done.

Accomodation and food

Volunteers will be accommodated in two buildings approximately 70 metres apart. One building has 2 rooms with 2 beds, a kitchen with a small fridge and a bathroom with a shower. The other building has 2 beds and a shared bathroom with a shower and a kitchen. A washing machine is also available. Wi-Fi included. Volunteers need to bring their towels. Some meals will be cooked by the volunteers themselves. Some will be prepared at a local restaurant. Volunteers can get coffee or tea from the coffee-roasting plant.

Location and leisure

Location: Rochlov is a small traditional village in western Bohemia with only 310 inhabitants. There is a supermarket, a restaurant and a coffee-roasting plant. Phone coverage is good. ATMs and pharmacies are located only in nearby villages. Nevertheless, it is no problem to take the volunteers there by car if they need to. The closest biggest city is Pilsen.

Leisure time: Volunteers can go for a trip to the lake or dam. There is an improvised gym, darts and many beautiful routes for cycling or running. Volunteers can also enjoy a campfire, have a beer together, or simply relax. There is a football field and a makeshift gym nearby. Men can participate in training with the local futsal team.

Study part: Through trips and excursions to nearby towns and villages (Marianske Lazne, Utery, Cheb, Chotesov), volunteers will be introduced to West Bohemia and its rather complex history. Volunteers will also visit Pilsen and its famous brewery and museum of Pilsner Urquell.

Work

The meaning of the pilgrimage to St. Anna is to spread the work of Benediktus among people. Volunteers will help to prepare and implement an event. The pilgrimage starts with Holy Mass and includes food and drink stalls, countless games for children, live music, theatre and much more. The work tasks will include mowing and raking grass, carrying things, setting up tents, tables and benches, cleaning, cooking, baking, frying, accompanying people with disabilities at work and in their free time, attending community meetings, selling products, making banners or doing face painting. The work will not be physically demanding and does not require any previous experience. Volunteers may prepare a workshop of their own (about their culture or any other ideas are welcome). Most of the work will be carried out outside, please, bring adequate boots and clothes that can get dirty and a raincoat.

Accomodation and food

Accommodation for volunteers is located in the Benediktus complex in Modletin in the building of the former spa. It is a large attic room with a shower, two toilets and a kitchen. Volunteers will sleep on mattresses with sheets but bring your own sleeping bag. There is WIFI and a washing machine. Food will be provided by Benediktus (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and good coffee). By prior arrangement, volunteers can also cook for themselves in the kitchen in their accommodation. We welcome volunteers who want to participate in the preparation of Czech dishes or cook dishes from their countries.

Location and leisure

Location: The Benediktus community is located in the picturesque village of Modletin, between the villages of Horni Bradlo and Rusinov, in the heart of the Iron Mountains. The area consists of historically significant buildings, which Benediktus reconstructs and uses for activities such as housing, work and cultural activities. The complex has a timbered fruit dryer, orchard and vegetable garden. Everywhere in the village there is good phone coverage, nevertheless, the village is small so there are no services such as ATMs or pharmacies.

Leisure time: Modletin is located in the heart of the protected landscape area of the Iron Mountains that offers a wide range of activities: hiking, swimming in a nearby dam, mushroom picking, sightseeing in the area (castles, chateaux, historic villages, geomorphological formations, natural monuments), cultural events (concerts, exhibitions, openings). In the area of Benediktus it is also possible to play sports.

Study part: As part of the pilgrimage, there will be a meeting with the general public and the volunteers will have the opportunity to present their culture, either in the form of theatre, fun games for children or making typical food. Other Czech and foreign volunteers also take part in the pilgrimage, with whom there will be an opportunity not only to work but also to spend free time together. During the project, volunteers have a unique opportunity to learn about the life and work of people with and without disabilities in the L'Arche community.

Work

The main task of this workcamp is the reconstruction of the historical wall that once was the edge of the horse stable of the property. The work of reconstructing a wall is not too exhausting and is suitable for all ages; patience and determination are key qualities. Tasks include repairing joints with crumbling mortar, replacing stones that were removed due to overgrown vegetation, and performing minor maintenance work such as painting windows, pruning overgrowth around the building, collecting and transporting waste to a container, and digging trenches. Working boots are essential, and we recommend taking a headlamp or other flashlight.

Accomodation and food

You will be accommodated in an apartment directly in the brewery. The apartment consists of a fully equipped kitchen, a living room, a bathroom with a shower and 2 toilets. Volunteers can sleep in the living room or there is also another smaller bedroom. Volunteers will sleep together, some on mattresses with blankets and pillows, others on sleeping mats in sleeping bags. Bring your sleeping bag and a mat (a small pillow is always useful). The washing machine, dryer, hairdryer, shower gels and shampoos are available. Wifi is also available. The volunteers will cook the meals together in the fully equipped kitchen from the provided ingredients. Vegan and vegetarian meals are possible.

Location and leisure

Location: The workcamp takes place in Janovice near Rymarov in a protected landscape area of the Jeseniky mountains. Janovice is a small village with 670 inhabitants located in the foothills of Praded Mountain (the highest peak of Jeseniky Mountains). There is a grocery store in the village and a good phone reception everywhere. The closest ATMs and pharmacies are located in the nearby town of Rymarov.


Leisure time: The foothills of the Jeseníky Mountains are home to many remarkable sites, though most require some travel. Highlights include Karlova Studánka, a unique mountain spa with well-preserved 18th-century architecture; Sovinec Castle; Praděd, the highest mountain in Moravia; and the largest waterfalls in northern Moravia. For those looking to stay closer, there are plenty of scenic spots within walking distance that offer breathtaking mountain panoramas. Additionally, on the chateau grounds, visitors can explore an exhibition by the National Heritage Institute inside the chateau building.

Study part: Volunteers will start the workcamp with the workshop Historic Stone Wall Restoration. There will be the possibility to have a guided tour of the castle including a tour around the brewery, visit the local museum, the brocade production exhibition, or the region's outstanding Baroque sacred monument. The local partner will organize a meeting with the local community. For example, you might get the chance to meet a local sculptor, a teacher, a jewelry maker using a 3D printer, or even a world champion in whip cracking!

Project hosted by

This workcamp is organized in cooperation with the Association for the Renovation of the Brewery in Janovice. In 2018 the association took over a 200-year-old neglected brewery in the village of Janovice, northern Moravia. The workcamp aims to reconstruct, revitalize, and clean up the old brewery to fulfill the association’s long-term goal—transforming it into a cultural center for the residents of Janovice. While the brewery’s renovation is an ongoing process, volunteers this year won’t be directly involved in ground breaking or community defining moments. Instead, they will have the opportunity to connect with local professionals and enthusiasts who support the project. Through these interactions, volunteers will experience the community from a different perspective, engage in cultural exchange, and gain insight into the town’s creative and entrepreneurial spirit. At this workcamp, you will actively contribute to the achievement of the United Nation Sustainable Development Goal 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities.

Perched atop a hill, the rectory offers a panoramic view of Kaplice and stands next to the Church of St. George. While the current building dates back to the 17th century, its history extends to medieval times. The site also features farm buildings, including granaries and barns, as well as a spacious rectory garden. The nearby town of Kaplice, just 1.5 km away, provides amenities such as a cinema, library, restaurants, sports facilities, and shops.

Leisure time: In their free time, volunteers can explore the nearby town of Kaplice, just 1.5 km away, offering a cinema, library, restaurants, sports facilities, and shops. For nature lovers, a scenic trail runs along the Černá River leading to the Hradiště hill lookout tower. Those interested in history can visit several nearby historical sites, with the stunning town of Český Krumlov only about 25 km away.

Study part: A planned excursion to Tichá Fortress will include a lecture on its reconstruction, providing insight into historical preservation. Volunteers will also attend a lecture on historical paintings and their restoration, gaining a deeper understanding of traditional art conservation. Additionally, there is a possibility of an excursion to the Velešín Museum, where they can explore local folk culture and heritage.

Project hosted by

Spolek Přátel Kestřanských Tvrzí is dedicated to preserving and revitalizing historical buildings, ensuring their restoration while making them accessible to the public. Alongside architectural conservation, the organization actively promotes traditional crafts, passing down knowledge and hands-on experience to future generations. The main goal of this project is breathing new life into the abandoned and deteriorated rectory, transforming it into a vibrant space for community gatherings, artists, experts, and visitors. This effort includes the revitalization of the rectory’s surroundings and garden, with plans to gradually open parts of it to the public. By infusing the restoration with a cultural dimension and a strong emphasis on community engagement, the project aims to create a dynamic and inspiring environment where history meets creativity. At this workcamp, you will actively contribute to the achievement of United Nation Sustainable Development Goal 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities.
