Saumur, France has been named as this year's international destination for EuroCamp 2025, an annual initiative that brings together 20 young people from Warwick and its European twin and friendship towns for two weeks of adventure and a creative project.

EuroCamp 2025 will run for two weeks from Saturday 19 July 2025 to Saturday 2 August 2025. 

Organised by Warwick Town Council and its twin towns, applications are now open to find the four young people, aged between 16 and 21, to represent Warwick.

The four will become ambassadors for Warwick and will travel to Saumur for Eurocamp 2025.

This opportunity allows the ambassadors to learn key skills, while completing a variety of community work and gaining excellent experience for any C.V or UCAS application.

During these two weeks the group will learn how to protect wildlife while designing and creating their own beehives to represent their hometown.

The beehives will be installed on the roundabouts in Saumur and will be in the image of the twinned towns. 

This project is fully funded via Warwick Town Council and its twin towns, there will be no costs for the ambassadors (apart from spending money).

Eurocamp 2025 will be made up of participants from Saumur, Verden, Formigine, Havelberg and Warwick.

Cllr Daniel Browne, chair of community and culture said: "Eurocamp is a fantastic initiative that enriches the lives of young people by empowering them to develop vital skills that will last a lifetime.

"Previous Eurocamp participants have been positive ambassadors for Warwick and made value friendships while taking part in a fun community project.

"I know that whoever is selected to attend this year is in for a terrific, life changing experience."

To take part in EuroCamp 2025, applicants must live in Warwick with a CV34 postcode.

Application forms to participate are now available from the town council via the website, by emailing [email protected], or telephone 01926 411694.

The closing date for applications is Monday 14 April 2025.
