Explore the Azores during this summer camp on the island of São Miguel. Activities such as environmental conservation, youth support, sustainable agriculture, and outdoor adventures will be led by a local team (canyoning, whale watching, volcanic excursions).

Each day will be an opportunity to learn, connect, and make a positive impact!

Volunteer Projects

During this summer camp, participants take part in several volunteer projects throughout their stay, offering the chance to discover as much as possible.

Youth Support

With the help of supervisors, participants visit after-school centers to offer fun and educational activities to children aged 4 to 10 years old. The children at the center are in situations of social exclusion, and the goal is to organize activities that help them gain self-confidence, encourage learning, and develop their curiosity.

You will be encouraged to:

• Interact and engage with the children
• Take part in creative workshops (painting, theater, music)
• Help with English learning

Sustainable Agriculture

For this part of the program, participants will help preserve the characteristic landscapes of the Azores. This project also has a strong social dimension, as in addition to contributing positively to the environment, participants will take part in activities alongside people with disabilities.

The role of participants will be to:

• Maintain the vegetable garden, nursery, and plants
• Help with harvesting
• Contribute to the preparation of finished products

Young Communicators

Throughout their trip, participants will work in teams to design and develop communication strategies to promote their volunteer projects.

The objectives are to:

• Take photos and videos
• Promote the mission and activities of local NGOs
• Collaborate with local teams
