Vegan Fitness Week

Vegan Fitness Week is organised once a year - it is a weeklong holiday, in which we will practise a lot of sport and eat tons of excellent vegan food. Previous years' experiences have proved it an epic event. In particular it's possible to forge new friendships and reinforce old ones.

This year’s holiday will take place in a beautiful location, deep in the green of Tuscany, in Italy. All sorts of activities will satisfy everybody’s tastes. We’ll have the opportunity to practice and learn many kinds of fitness activities: from running to yoga, from crossfit to martial arts, from jazz dance to climbing, etc. Cooking teams will prepare our meals but some hosts will come too in order to impress us with typical local dishes, vegan revisited of course!

Because it’s a completely DYS vacation, costs are well kept down. If you want to participate or have more info, please contact Francesco at vfw2012@gmail.com. Don’t be late because there’s a limit of 70 friends we can host at the house we are staying at.

FOOD

Because there isn't going to be a fixed kitchen crew, we need volunteers everyday. Specifically, we need:

  • 1 chief cook for all the breakfasts
  • 6 chief cooks (1 per day) preparing lunches and dinners (we are trying to find local chiefs among friends; so maybe dinners are going to be covered, but it's to soon to tell)
  • Every chief will have volunteer helpers which will be found among the attendees.

Important note: make yourself available as soon as possible, the organizers need to know menus and ingredients well in advance. Send me an email at vfw2012@gmail.com

COSTS

The cost for the week is €250,00. it covers:

  • Food prepared at the campsite, including lunch boxes for the two days out
  • Lodging
  • All activities except "canyoning"
  • Transports (2 days out)
  • Children up to 10 years are not going to pay!

Send me an email at vfw2012@gmail.com. i'll give you all the details for the payment.

Note: The final cost can't be calculated exactly, the budget we established should be more than enough. In case money is left at the end of the week, we'll decide whether to give it back, save it for the next vf week, or give it to some animal right organization.
