The following is an example of the programme. Because we are a dynamic organisation, it may alter a bit each year. The ‘programme parts’ you see here are standard parts; therefore, they will be part of the camp in the upcoming years.
Camp programme
Day 1: Arrival
- Get to know each other, explore the campsite and find a nice spot to pitch your tent.
Day 2: Building Day
- The main facilities at the site will already have been built by the staff. However, on this day, we will all work together to perfect our campsite and make it our home for the next 2 weeks.
Day 2 – 5: Hike
- A four-day hike through the surrounding mountains, carrying all we need in our rucksacks except for the tents.
Day 6 – 12: Camp Day
- The first day of our workshops, open stage, etc. A camp day will follow, more or less, the programme you will find below.
Day 13: Concert day
- The morning will be a normal camp day, but in the afternoon we will hold a grand concert in the nearby village.
Day 14: Social evening day
- Our last day together. This special day will end with a great feast, all kinds of acts, songs and the presentation of the work from the workshops.
Day 15: Departure day
- Saying our fond farewells to our new friends and heading back to all the corners of the world where we came from. Or shouldering our backpacks and hitchhiking through Europe.
