    Project Location

    This is a general renovation project with different possible locations, depending on where work and support are needed. During the warmer months, the project can be based in Borðeyri and Brú, where there are ongoing renovation and maintenance projects. During the winter months, the group may instead work in Krýsuvík, where the focus shifts to indoor renovation and maintenance due to the weather conditions.

    Work

    Volunteers take part in practical renovation and maintenance work at the location where support is currently needed. Tasks may include painting, repairing walls, floors, doors, and windows, insulation, small construction projects, and maintaining volunteer houses and community buildings.

    The exact tasks and location may vary depending on the season, weather, and current project needs. Volunteers will receive guidance from local supervisors and WF Iceland.

    Participants

    The project is suitable for volunteers who enjoy hands-on work, renovation, construction, and practical tasks. Both short-term and long-term volunteers are welcome, with longer stays encouraged for those who would like to become more involved in ongoing renovation projects.

    Camp Leaders

    The Camp Leader coordinates the daily activities and supports communication between WF Iceland, the local supervisors, and the volunteer team.

    Main responsibilities include:

    • Coordinating daily renovation activities and tasks.
    • Supporting volunteers during the work.
    • Organizing cooking, cleaning, and house schedules.
    • Communicating with the local supervisor and WF Iceland.
    • Helping organize free-time activities.
    • Creating a positive and respectful team environment.

    Camp Leaders are also equal members of the volunteer team and participate in the renovation work alongside the other volunteers.

    What to Pack?

    As the project may take place in different locations and seasons, volunteers should be prepared for both outdoor and indoor renovation work and changing Icelandic weather.

    • Waterproof and sturdy work boots.
    • Warm, layered clothing.
    • Waterproof and windproof jacket.
    • Waterproof trousers.
    • Work clothes that can get dirty or damaged.
    • Warm socks, gloves, hat, and other cold-weather clothing.
    • Indoor slippers or shoes.
    • Swimsuit and towel.
    • Personal medication.
    • Reusable water bottle.
    • Cultural items, recipes, or small items from home for intercultural activities.
    • Cash (ISK) for personal expenses.
    • Travel documents and insurance information.

    Baggage allowance: 1 large suitcase and 1 small carry-on bag.

    Please note that the exact project location and tasks will depend on the season, weather conditions, and where renovation support is needed at the time.

    Extra activities that volunteers can book at additional costs are:
    • Snæfellsnes Peninsula (€100)

    • Canyon Baths & Waterfalls (€120)


    As this is a remote project surrounded by nature, free time is mainly about enjoying the peaceful Icelandic countryside and exploring the surrounding landscapes. Volunteers can go for hikes, walks, and nature exploration, depending on the weather and local conditions.

    Volunteers should be prepared to spend most of their free time at the project and in the surrounding natural environment. This is a great opportunity to disconnect from busy city life, enjoy Iceland’s landscapes, and spend time with the volunteer group.

    Volunteers can also organize group activities, games, cooking evenings, and other activities together at the accommodation. For longer trips or excursions, transportation needs to be planned.

    Please always check the weather and trail conditions before hiking, stay on marked or safe routes, and follow local safety recommendations.

    Mat och Dryck

    Food is included for the entire duration of the camp. Volunteers share responsibility for cooking, cleaning, and keeping the kitchen and dining areas tidy.

    We provide a balanced and varied selection of food, including whole grains, seasonal fruits and vegetables, pantry staples, dairy products, and vegetarian and vegan options. We also aim to reduce our environmental impact by limiting meat consumption and encouraging volunteers to try more sustainable dishes.

    We can accommodate special dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free diets, and food allergies. Please inform us about any dietary requirements in advance so we can plan accordingly.

    Meals are prepared by the volunteers in small teams according to a shared weekly schedule. Everyone is expected to contribute fairly to the cooking and cleaning.

    We encourage volunteers to bring their favorite recipes, spices, or typical ingredients from home and share them with the group. 

    Cooking together is a great way to discover different cultures and enjoy new dishes!
