How did you learn about work camps and MS?
Through Thomas and friends from my studies. Thomas had participated in a workcamp and convinced me to join the cause.

What work camp experience do you have?
I led a workcamp in the summer 2005. It’s the Iron Age Camp at Næsby.

How did you experience being a work camp leader?
Fun and challenging.

What did you gain from being a work camp leader?
You get to learn a lot about yourself by being put into a social position out of your normal experience.

Which challenges did you face being a work camp leader?
Plenty... There’s lots of challenges being a work camp leader. One is that you have to coordinate everything and stay on top of a situation that easily turns chaotic. Another challenge is that you have to assume a lot of responsibility. Whenever someone is in doubt about anything they will look to you.

Do you have any advice for future work camp leaders?
Sure! Have fun and remember to set time aside after the workcamp for a four day sleep.

Would you be willing to be fed to a giant spider if it would save a populated planet of which you’ve never heard of from destruction?
I’m a consequentialist, so I’ll have to say yes!

The unique skill of being a leader?
I’m extraordinarily persistent with figuring out details. And I’m very good at telling scary stories.
