What work camp experience do you have?
I was a camp leader in 2006 at Bornholm, Denmark, where we did a fair trade festival. We did all sorts of practical tasks, including building the major stage related to the annual Fair Trade Festival.
How did you experience and gain from being a work camp leader?
It was a different kind of a summer holiday.
I enjoyed meeting people from all the world and it was great to have people from different cultures working together.
I enjoyed putting the skills gained at the MS Leader Training Seminar into practice and I think I will use the skills learned in my future career in international development studies (Saving the earth and all the pandas). Being a camp leader increased my awareness of my personal strengths and limits.
Which challenges did you face being a work camp leader?
During the hard work putting up the stage I found it difficult motivating the participants since some of them tended to consider the camp as a beach holiday.
Do you have any advice for future work camp leaders?
I had doubts if able to lead a work camp, but by doing it I gained confidence and learned a lot from it!
How was it to have a co-leader who is deeply engaged in the national guard (Hjemmeværnet)?
It was not influencing our teamwork – put the push-ups in the morning weere a bit weird....
Things you didn’t know about Sanne:
I consider smoking an undervalued socializing skill that all leaders should adopt...
