Full info:

During the camp, our teenagers will also have an exploration of photography in the digital age to help students learn how to get the most out of their cameras while being creative in the process. They will get hands-on instruction and experience with the tools necessary to research, compose, capture, and refine digital photographic projects. We will mostly focus on nature when it comes to topics and we encourage our participants to be creative. Iceland is a magic country for photographers, so we are sure that our group will have a lot of great photos and memories when they return home after the camp.

General Information

Participants will be staying in the Hostels or Guest Houses. Based on gender they will share double or quadruple rooms with shared bathrooms. 

Wireless internet access is provided free of charge at the accommodation.

Food is included for the duration of the work camp; however, everyone is expected to do their fair share of the cooking and cleaning. Since it is always nice to try new and different dishes, volunteers are encouraged to bring along their favorite recipes from home! 

We provide a well-balanced and healthy variety of food products that includes a wide variety of whole grains, seasonal fruits & vegetables, pantry staples, dairy products, vegetarian/vegan options. We do not provide soft drinks, candies, or alcohol. We try to reduce our carbon footprint on the planet by cutting down our meat intake and we usually encourage volunteers to try more sustainable dishes. Please let us know if you have any food allergies or special dietary needs in advance.

We will also focus on intercultural learning. Every evening, volunteers will present each of their Countries & Cultures. It can be a presentation, a game, videos…the form of introduction is up to you! Therefore, we encourage you to bring along some food, photos, or anything interesting related to your country for a fun and informative evening amongst other volunteers.
