Summer is on the way – Don’t miss your chance!

It may not seem like it in Iceland (or elsewhere) right now, but the summer is not so far away. We will be back at the Langidalur base camp within about three months, making preparations ahead of the arrival of the first volunteer teams in May.

January is normally our biggest recruitment month, but this season we have been overwhelmed by the response to our programme dates that were published just before Christmas. We have been very busy with enquiries, applications and Skype interviews which means the teams are quickly filling up and it is likely that most of the places will be allocated within the next few weeks.

As things are moving faster than we planned (and faster than in previous seasons), we wanted to suggest a date so that applicants did not miss their chance. If you would like to join us this summer, we recommend that you complete the online application before 31st January so that we can include you in our last big application review day for 2015. Later applications will be considered for any remaining or last minute places that become available up until 15th March.

So don’t delay… get in touch!
