Volunteering at Øhavets Smakke- og Naturcenter
Øhavets Smakkecenter
Strynø, Rudkøbing, Denmark
Description
The Øhavets Smakke- og Naturcenter is surrounded by some of the most beautiful nature in Denmark. The center is placed on Strynø – a little island half an hour of sailing from Rudkøbing at Langeland. There are about 210 inhabitants on Strynø which also contains one of the most well-preserved towns of the middle ages. The Smakkecenter is placed directly at the water front, and has existed since 1993. The everyday life at the center contains lots of different work depending on the season. The spring activities will primarily be preparing the boats and the camping site for the summer season. The summer is the busy time of the season where we arrange trips for our visitors – mostly sailing dinghies, SUP and kayaks. The volunteer will participate in the everyday work on their own and together with the other employees at the center. This work includes sailing, upkeeping the dinghies, painting, cutting grass, cleaning, guiding tourists, upkeeping the campsite and various gear.

Participant profile
The volunteers must like being outdoor as most of the activities at the center are outdoor activities. A big part of the job is to be with guests in the campground so good social skills are highly required. The volunteers must be open-minded and prepared to be involved in all the various tasks together with the rest of the staff. The volunteers must be able to speak English at a conversational level.
