Project: The youth club "Lehmbau" is located in the outskirts of the city of Augsburg next to a big swimming lake. It is a meeting point for children and youth from the neighbourhood and offers lots of leisure activities such as beach volleyball, climbing, canoeing, handcrafting or take care and have fun with the animals (donkey, sheep, goats, rabbits,….).
Work: In and around the youth club plenty of renovation tasks are to do. The successful camp last year did working projects consisting of the (re)construction and cleaning of some buildings and the big garden such as clearing out an old boathouse, levelling the ground around the ping pong table, setting up a barbecue place including new benches, painting of playground equipment, building a new stable for the animals and so on. This year's tasks will be similar.
Accommodation: will be in a big tent on the yard of the youth centre. Camping beds are provided; sanitary facilities and kitchen are inside the youth centre. Warm sleeping bags are necessary because nights might get cold (even in German summertime). Local youth will be around - volunteers have chance to get in contact with them!
Location: Ever since its founding by Caesar Augustus - after whom it was named, the town of Augsburg has stood at the intersection of some of the most important trade and travel routes on the continent. Nowadays it is the capital and the largest city of the Swabia administrative region of Bavaria. The population is about 280.000 and the face of Augsburg has been shaped by its 2000-year history. The town offers plenty of possibilities for spending leisure time. The youth club can be easily reached from the inner city by a 20 minute walk. Around 200m next to the youth club, volunteers can get new energy in a swimming lake.
The workcamp is invited and supported by the municipality of Augsburg and the municipal volunteer service.
