Summer-Workcamp 2011

Workcamps this year Place Dürnau is a small village in the heart of "Upper Swabia", sitting between Stuttgart and Lake Constance. The nearby nature reserve surrounding Federsee, the proximity to the Danube Valley and the short distance to the Alps offers a multitude of possibilities for lovely and meaningful leisure activities. Activities The tasks of the Workcamp provide primarily for the upkeep and care of the community grounds and the support of various ongoing projects within the Kooperative. This year we envision the following tasks: - Continuation of the network of garden paths already underway - Uprooting and replacing of hedges, berry-harvesting - Dung removal and composting - Hay harvesting - Assistance in dishwashing and cleaning up after meals In case of bad weather, participants can help with simple construction work. Free time In addition to the access to sporting activities like cayaking, biketours and mountain trekking in the Danube Valley and the Alps, we can off participants short courses in the operation of the Kooperative Dürnau, such as bookbinding, paper marbelling, as well as bread-baking, butter-making, and canning methods. We can attend performances, produce a video, and will gladly offer advice for a theatre group or make available instruments for a band. Climbers are welcome.
