Description
The "Solidarity Summer Camp 2025" builds on the successful "Giving a Day of My Summer to the Forest" initiative, operating from June to September annually since 2007. It focuses on protecting the forests around Mount Olympus with two daily observation shifts monitoring forests from our watchtower. This crucial effort, in collaboration with the local fire brigades, has significantly reduced forest fire risks and raised environmental awareness. In 2025, we expand its impact by inviting two teams of 20 participants for 4 weeks each (20.07 to 20.08 and 20.08 to 20.09) to work in various tasks, fostering environmental consciousness and community spirit. The activity, hosted by KSK, is coordinated by the Service National de la Jeunesse of Luxembourg. The project aims to create positive environmental and societal outcomes while fostering and developing interpersonal competencies in a communal living setting for the participants.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
For the "Solidarity Summer Camp 2025," volunteers stay in a shared dormitory, featuring 10 bunk beds for 20 participants with no gender separation in a typical summer camp atmosphere. Adjacent modern sanitary facilities offer convenience and privacy, with separate men's and women's bathrooms and five individual shower rooms (explore our facility here: https://photos.app.g). Meals include buffet-style breakfasts with various options and traditional Greek dishes for lunch and dinner, prepared on-site following our meal plan (https://shorturl.at/h7iIG) All necessary transport is organized by us.
Participant profile
We are seeking a diverse, motivated, and energetic team of participants. Candidates must be open to working and living intensively with others (especially regarding the accommodation in a mixed dormitory). They should be ready to roll up their sleeves and get dirty or tired when needed, demonstrating a willingness to fully engage in hands-on activities. Additionally, candidates should be comfortable with the hot summer temperatures typical of Greece. We welcome individuals who are enthusiastic about making a positive impact on the environment while fostering successful teamwork. We are not looking for guests, tourists or clients, but for young people ready to fully join the solidarity community. Main working language of the project is English (required), while additional languages are Greek and German.
