Current Workcamps

Our new on-line application system is working, with a few minor bugs. Please read the directions below to proceed successfully.

Please click on the link at the bottom of the page to start the search and application process. On the following page, you will have three choices:

1. Full list of workcamps - This choice will show you all of the camps so far submitted by our branches and partners, ordered by starting date. This list includes camps which may already be full, so should not be used for applying.

2. Advanced search - This is for those folks who want to find camps that meet their specific conditions. You can search by country, dates, theme, mixed age, family camps, etc. Only camps that meet your conditions and have openings will be shown. This listing should not be used to apply, as you must REGISTER first before applying.

3. Registering - This choice is the first step to applying for a camp. In order to protect your privacy and simplify possible future applications, we ask you to fill out a form with general information about yourself that would be included on all applications. Part of this form is the choice of a password that allows you to access your personal file in the future.

When you submit this form, an email will be sent to your address to confirm your identity. When you answer this email, your personal file will be activated.

The information in your personal file is protected by European Privacy Laws, which are considerably stricter than those of the US, and will be available only to SCI and yourself.

Once your file is activated, you can sign into it with the password you created and choose workcamps for which to apply. If you wish to apply for more than one camp during the season, please submit a separate application for each camp. The application form can be confusing, as it allows spaces for six camps, but these are meant to be backup choices for the first camp if it is not available.

Please note that this program cannot be used to apply for North/South camps. If you choose a N/S camp a message will come up informing you of that. For N/S camps you must use a written application form which you can find on the website.
