In partnership with

Experience Finnish lakeside country life, while taking part in everyday communal housekeeping and renovation projects, and getting to know small-scale gardening. Community thinking and working are the key elements of this camp, which is set at the old/former vicarage site by a lake, and also produces organic food products (herbs and berries). Please note that due to the landscape and the accommodation building's old architecture, this camp is not easily accessible.
