Apprentice camp 2026

Our journey recently took us to Einsiedeln, where the 2026 apprentice camp took place. During five days, we carried out community service work in the forest and performed various forestry tasks.

Fortunately, we were blessed with beautiful weather throughout the entire week. Each day started at 6:45 a.m. with breakfast. At 7:50 a.m. we gathered outside and split into four groups, each led by a group leader. Every group had a different task, whether it was cleaning up a river, removing old plastic fences, or cutting down trees. There was something for everyone. Although the work was sometimes challenging, there was always plenty of laughter along the way.

After each workday, we enjoyed warm, delicious meals and dessert. In the evenings, after dinner, we spent time together playing games such as Brändi Dog, table tennis, and many others.

The groups were changed every morning so that everyone had a different leader and the opportunity to take on new tasks. Another highlight of the week was our visit to the Einsiedeln Monastery on Thursday afternoon. The interior of the monastery was very impressive and majestic.

On Friday, we cleaned the house as well as all the tools before taking the train back to Rapperswil.

During this week, we got to know each other even better, grew closer as a group, and created many wonderful memories together!
