Welcome to you!

If you've come to this page, it's for several reasons:

or you've already experienced a teenage workcamp elsewhere or with us (nostalgic for cool, we recognize you), and know that this workcamp will be just as good as the ones you've already done, or at least we'll do everything we can to make it so!

Either you don't yet know what you want to do with your vacation, and your parents have already talked to you about starting to look at what you'd like to do, but quietly, or they're very stressed and have already gone to the REMPART website to tell you "oh look, that looks pretty good!" and you've replied "yeah... I don't know...".

in any case, you're here reading this message, and maybe we'll succeed in convincing you to come, so that it really is your choice.

And for all the others who are hesitating, or who would be a little forced to come on this trip, take the time to think about it, no stress! You have to want it for it to be a great vacation!

So what's a teenage workcamp with Déclam' like?

what do we do? how do we live? where do we sleep?

Who'll be there? What'll we eat? Where's Fons and Corn?

in the middle of the pampas? but there are things to do?

A volunteer workcamp at the same time....

Give time and commitment to heritage, but also enjoy leisure activities and meet new people for two weeks.

How are things going with Déclam'?

You will be welcomed in a village called Fons, 15 km from Figeac (the nearest town).

We'll be sleeping in tents on the village soccer field, and the living quarters will be in the same place.

For site activities, two missions are planned if you accept them:

Fons is a very pretty village, and for the past 3 years, residents have been eager to see you return, and they've entrusted us with the task of helping them make the village even more beautiful. This year, we'll be doing some carpentry and making flower tubs with built-in benches. These tubs will be installed in parking spaces, to gradually start banishing cars from the village.

The second project will take place in another beautiful village, Corn, 10km from Fons. Because we've also been organizing this workcamp with this village for the past 4 years.

And for the past 4 years, we've been renovating a dry-stone wall that brightens up a hiking trail in the village, and you'll probably have the honor of finishing the renovation of this wall, as we begin the final phase.

All these missions will be supervised by technical animators! And you don't need to know anything about it - beginners are welcome!

Sometimes residents also come to lend a hand and chat with you.

OK, we're working on the site, but we also told you it was the vacations, didn't we?

Then we can plan plenty of activities for you to enjoy on afternoons and days off!

Because we'll work with all of you to make sure you have the best vacation ever.

Around Fons and Figeac, we can:

- meet farmers, go to their farms such as milking goats, take them to the field and come back to make cheese

- Climbing and swimming in the surrounding rivers

- take part in cultural activities (there may be circus sessions with an association near Fons and a music workshop)

- Go hiking with a flora and fauna specialist, to learn all the secrets of the local landscape.

- visit beautiful villages around Figeac such as Cardaillac or Rocamadour

- Go to a music festival in Faycelles or Cajarc

And when you're there, you'll have lots of games and evening activities, just like at any other camp you've ever been to.

And what about life outside of work and leisure?

We'll all be living together for two weeks, so we'll be doing everything together.

Cooking! We're waiting for your best recipes using seasonal produce, because we don't go to the supermarket, we only buy local produce as much as possible, but as we also love to eat, we also like to eat really good produce.

Housework! Yes, we'll all have the job of washing up (which is actually fun to do if there are several of us with music), cleaning the camp, the toilets etc...

At Déclam', we like to make people aware of the need to protect the environment, so we pay close attention to our water consumption:

then we'll have dry toilets and maybe solar showers too.

Showers are also provided in the changing rooms at the soccer pitch, with individual access for those who need it.

The volunteer workcamp is located in two villages near Figeac: Fons and Corn.

We're located in one of France's most beautiful departments, in the north of the Occitanie region, right in the south-west.

about 6 hours by train and road from Paris, 2 hours by train and road from Toulouse.

To get to the site, you can also take the train, and we'll pick you up at the Figeac or Assier stations. Access by car is of course also possible.

So if you're still hesitating, if you've still got lots of questions, but even if you're already motivated, give us a call on 06.79.59.86.72, or write to us at walter.prat@declam.org.

We like to get to know you before confirming your registration

So? see you this summer?
