Program Details
I (Rune, 43) recently took over the camping site from my dad, and now start to revitalise the place. It was founded by my grandparents at a beautiful nature site. Right now it is mostly people who rent their place long term, but with time we want to transform it to a small community with short term, midterm and long term rentals. Internationals also start to come by on bike with their tent. We are just building some small huts for people to stay short and medium term.
As I took over the place earlier than expected, I still have my old job in Copenhagen, so do my partner (Sissel, 36). Therefore I’m usually only there once a week, but there is a small team running the daily tasks.
Micheal is there full time as a janitor, Liv is here part time, also as a janitor, Dorte is taking care of the finance, Bettina is cleaning the bathrooms, and Birgit is cutting the grass.
From time to time my dad and aunt help out with small tasks on the site as well.
There’s daily ongoing interaction between all employees. Once every second week we have a small meeting to catch up.
There’s around 170 people on the camping site, predominantly Danish. But we are excited to expand it to a more international and artistic community.
We are in the process of getting more volunteers to create more community feeling.
You would be offered your own space (camping wagon, tent, kitchen and small garden), that is just being revitalised by our friends right now. We can send you some pictures later, if you want. It is close to the big lake with a small viewing point. We will provide you a budget to buy and cook your own food.
