Descripción:
The Pinson Mound Redoubt is a military fortification dating from the late 19th century. The redoubt is located at the top of a small hill in the middle of a 110 hectare regional park. International summer camps here contribute to the restoration and renovation of the fort, with the aim of opening it to the public (especially for heritage days in September). During the project volunteers may also be interested in learning about the redoubt's history, as well as the Pinson Mound regional development project.
This year volunteers will continue to restore the fort's surrounding wall. Initial work will be carried out by local young people in April in order to prepare the area for the summer work camp. As a volunteer in this camp you will work with these local youngsters to clean and reinforce the stones of the upper part of the wall.
You will sleep on inflatable mattresses in school dormitories. Participants need to bring along a sleeping bag.
Location: The town of Montmagny, located 15 km North of Paris.
Leisure activities: This summer camp is organised in conjunction with four neighbouring towns, the goal being to encourage local young people to engage with the camp's activities. As such you will be able to take part in cultural outings and social exchanges organised with local partner associations. Other free-time activities will be organized collectively, depending on the wishes of the group and the available budget.
