Weekend workcamps

We organize weekend voluntary camps, alias weekend workcamps, especially in Slovakia. The weekend workcamps usually start early Friday evening and end Sunday afternoon.

The weekend camp combines fun with voluntary help to the local community. The camp is intended for all those who want to “escape” from a sedentary lifestyle, from the busy cities, break out of the everyday stereotype and experience something new. Thanks to the participation in the weekend camp, you will relax, gain new energy and strength, and at the same time help where help is needed.

Anyone can apply for the camp. Young, older. The one who has already been to the camps. Even those who have never heard of such camps. Feel free to join us with your friends or by yourself. At the camp you will meet many people with whom you will find a common language and thanks to the program you will become part of a group and time will fly by very quickly.

  • What are the terms and conditions for participation in the weekend workcamps?

    You can already read them here: terms and conditions for participation in the weekend workcamp.

  • When will I get more information about the project?

    Typically, we will send the participant the info kit (infosheet) at least one week before the first day of the workcamp. The info kit contains a travel inofrmation, information about the volunteering help or free time activities and accommodation, etc.

  • Why do I pay the participation fee to INEX?

    We are a civic association and therefore we do not run a business and do not provide paid services. Your fee is a contribution to INEX Slovakia and we use it to partially finance our activities in Slovakia. The fee helps us to cover a small part of the event costs. At the same time, the fee represents an expression of interest in participating in the event.

  • Will I make money on the project?

    All projects and events organized by INEX Slovakia and our partner organizations are organized within the philosophy of volunteering, i.e. they are organized within the framework of volunteering help, whether social or physical.

    This means that the participants do not earn money, but the experience, knowledge, contacts with new people, cultures, experiences and the feeling of satisfaction over the “work” done is much more than money.

  • Can I go on a project with a friend?

    When a volunteer wants to attend a camp with another person, he/she has to mention the name of the other person in the application form. Both of you must send in the application form.

  • How do I apply?

    The weekend camps and their descriptions can be found on this page under the description. If there is none, we do not have a weekend workcamp scheduled. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram where we’ll keep you posted.
