There is a Mongolian tent, an Indian tent and some more European camping tents (for 2 persons). There will be enough sleeping bags and covers, but if you have a personal sleeping bag you can bring it with you!
- The organizer of this project is an ecological oriented association. Be ready to use dry toilets, to collect separately organic waste, plastic, papers and bottles (for recycling). Don't worry if you don't know what to do and how to use it, there will be some explanations in the first day!
- One of the most important principles of this experience is collective life. Be ready to be part of cooking & cleaning teams! Don't worry if you are a mess in the kitchen, you will surely find a place to help (cleaning vegetables, cutting cheese etc.), the most important is to be opened for this experience!
