How much time a summer session requires from me?

For volunteers the summer session requires 10 days. This means 2 preparations days before the kids arrive and one closing day after the kids have left for home. For volunteers participating in these 10 full days is compulsory, in order to keep the consistency of the session and the programme you must not miss any day. Please count with one extra training day  if you are a new volunteer, it makes it 11 days for you then at the camp.

I don’t have much experience with children. Can I still apply?

You do not need any previous experience with children to become a volunteer, however it could be an advantage. The most important thing is that you treat our campers to the values of the camp, that you are able to give your full attention to them while giving empowering reflections and that you also enjoy yourself.

What medical knowledge a BátorTábor volunteer needs?

Throughout the whole session the medical volunteers are there for us: doctors, nurses, dieticians and physical therapists. They are responsible for the physical wellbeing, medication and the right diet of the campers. The maximum task you will be asked for is to escort a camper to the medical building in order to have his/her medication on time. You will hear about the different disorders, diseases and the most important hygienic rules during the preparation trainings. You have no medical responsibility in the camp and you will receive no detailed information about the campers’ diagnosis or current health state other than it is needed to keep them safe.

What are the rules and guidelines volunteers have to follow due to the COVID-19 epidemic? 

Since we welcome seriously and chronically ill children in the camp, we must take extra precautions in connection with the epidemic. We have introduced several new health rules (e.g. we pay special attention to disinfection and hand washing).

The current situation and the Head of our Medical Team will determine the most important questions for our 2023 Summer Sessions, which are:

  •  Do we ask a negative PCR test within 48 hours? In case it will be needed, the cost of test will be covered by Bátor Tábor.
  • In what situation and where (e.g. outdoors, indoors) will we ask the volunteers to wear facemask?

About the exact rules we will inform you approx 10 days prior the program. Thank you for your flexibility!
