ORGANISATION
A non-profit organisation runs the Dana Cup, and the event is one of the world's largest international youth soccer tournaments.

Every year, in the last week of July, the soccer tournament brings together around 20.000 young people between 12-19 years old and their coaches. They come to Hjørring in northern Denmark from 45 different nations, representing 1000 football teams.

Dana Cup Week brings a great party in Hjørring and the atmosphere is amazing! It is the fifth Work Camp at this huge sports event, and it was a great experience in 2018, 2019, 2022 and 2023. We are very excited for another camp in 2024.

Please read more about the event on their website: www.danacup.com.


WORK
This Work Camp is held during the Dana Cup, and there are therefore plenty of tasks that will ensure the event will run smoothly.
Work Camp participants must help with the establishment of an event area, catering for 20.000 football players as well as practical tasks such as painting accommodation cabins and maintaining outdoor areas.

During the two weeks of Work Camp, you will assist with general support and logistics before the tournament begins, maintenance of outdoor- and indoor areas, cleaning, kitchen assistance, event creations and reparation of dormitories in Dana Cup Town.

The work is expected to be arranged in two shifts from 08:00-21:00.

LOCATION AND LEISURE
During your stay in Northern Jutland, you will have time to explore some unique nature and attractions in Denmark. You can, for example, arrange a day trip to Skagen, the most Northern tip of Denmark where two oceans meet. Skagen is famous for the special light which has attracted many painters, cosy yellow and red houses and much more. You can also visit the city of Hjørring, or take a day trip to Aalborg.
One of the neighbouring towns called Hirtshals has the biggest Aquarium in Northern Europe. And in another neighbouring town is the biggest summer amusement park in Denmark.

Your Work Camp leaders will help you and the group with organising activities in your spare time. It is free to enjoy the beautiful nature of Northern Jutland, but some activities might require an extra charge. The host will not cover additional charges.
