International Youth Camp

After a year of preparations, you arrive at an empty field. Within a week, you build everything needed to live semi-comfortably with a group of 80. The kitchen tent is up and the water lines are laid.

After two weeks, you neatly pack everything up. It seems as if nothing has happened. But everyone who was there knows otherwise.

Do you want to experience this from the inside? Then apply now to become a staff member of IYC! You can do so here until November 10.

“Hey, Helen do you think you’re gonna stay up all night?” I hear someone yelling from the opposite side of the tent.
Opening my eyes, a big smile decorates my face thinking of the fact that all these loving people were strangers two weeks ago.
“Of course! I never want this to end!” Continue reading.
