WORK: Volunteers will be working on a variety of projects, including trail improvement work (shoveling, raking, using a wheelbarrow, etc.), some habitat management (removal of destructive plants) along with occasional general park maintenance. The group will also assist in preparing for and running a weekend park festival. Since volunteers will be working during the festival, we will take a couple days off in the middle of the week to give volunteers get some free time. Much of work will involve some level of hard physical labor. The group will be immersed in a small town in an international group that will work with park staff and other volunteers.

Study Theme:
Migration: This year the Alliance, an umbrella organization for European voluntary service, has set MIGRATION as the study theme for all projects. Prior to arriving at your camp we are asking you to think about and gather data about how issues surrounding migration affect you or your country. For example:
· 1. Have people migrated into or out of your country and if so when or why?
· 2. Do people migrate within your country without leaving your country's borders?
· 3. Have you or your family experienced migration in a personal way?
We look forward to exploring these and other issues around migration during your project.

Montpelier is the capitol of Vermont with a population of 8500, making it the smallest capitol in the U.S.

LEISURE ACTIVITIES: During free time volunteers will have access to local parks and recreation areas. The summer weather
is usually good for visiting some wild and beautiful swimming areas. This workcamp is known for hard work and adventurous
play since the staff here enjoys hiking, canoeing and other activities and is willing to lead the group in those types of activities.]
There will be time for interaction with the local community so please bring information about your country, hobbies, and life to
share.
