Finnish summer cottage experience and a great camp for the first-timers! The Vähäsilta camp center is in an idyllic location on the shores of a lake, just a half-hour drive from the city center of Tampere, one of Finland’s largest and most vibrant cities. In this workcamp, volunteers will participate in the maintenance of the camp center. The owner of the center, TampereMissio, offers the center free of charge to non-profit organizations in the region, which means that center is in high use throughout the summer. This workcamp transfers the campsite from the busy summer season towards the fall use.
