ABOUT WORKCAMPS
Work:
Some of our camps have become traditional.
Types of the works in our workcamps are ecological, cultural, aesthetic work with
children. The work is expected to be interesting and various.
Accommodation
and food:
Do not worry about sleeping bags. You can leave them at home,
as you will stay in the building/cottages of the hosting organizations where you
will be provided with beds and bedding packs. Making beds and keeping the rooms
neat and clean every day is obligatory.
Volunteers will prepare the food themselves.
You will taste all kinds of Armenian traditional food and drinks, such as dolma,
kabab, khorovats (barbecue), incomparable fruits of Ararat Valley - of apricots,
grapes, peaches, apples, berries and a big assortment of vegetables.
