  • You can park your caravan at grass (Gärdet – on the other side of the road) or on gravel/grus (on the hill by Servicehuset/Diskhuset). 
  • There will be the possibility to reserve a caravan spot together with people from your local churches. You must reserve these spots yourself upon arrival. You can reserve max. 1 spots. It is not possible to reserve some seats in advance.
CHARGING YOUR EL CAR AT NYHEM:
  • New this year – charge your electric car at Nyhem! Nyhem has recently installed charging poles on their campground. More information about the number of poles and price of charging your car will be updated soon.
CHECK-IN:
  • When you arrive at Nyhem you will need to register at the Main office. Here you’ll receive information about where you will be staying and other information. If you haven’t already paid then you can do it here.
CHECK-OUT:
  • Another camp begins immediately after ours. This means that we have to clean and pick up after ourselves quickly. Those who stay at Nyhems lodgings must clean their rooms. The mattresses and beddings should be shaken and brushed outside, and the floors swept and mopped. Do not forget to return the keys. All those who have used the common kitchens and bathroom sinks are responsible for cleaning them as well.
DISHES:
  • There are several places where you can wash your dishes:
  1. Servicehuset/Disk Huset (on top of the hill, close to Nyhemshallen and the Caravans)
  2. Gärdet (on the other side of the road – under the tunnel)
DOCTORS:

We also have Camp doctors and nurses: 

At camp there will also be a list of nurses/doctors to contact each day. The list and phone numbers will be in the Summer Camp folder.

EARLY ARRIVALS:
  • Only those who are prepared to work hard with preparations for the camp can come to Nyhem on Saturday.
  • Only those who are registered can count on having food provided. All other must wait till Sunday at 5pm.
  • If you arrive Saturday with your caravan you will have to pay an extra fee of 200 SEK.

We are charging a small fee for the workers and staff coming prior to camp. This is only for workers, project leaders and volunteers arriving early. This is to make sure we prepare enough fika/food and that people are committed to arrive early to work (if other family members arrive early they pay double)

EMERGENCY:
  • Do you need a doctor – contact the Emergency Centre in Mullsjö:
    • Adress: Kyrkvägen 1, Mullsjö, Monday to Friday 8-17
    • Telephone: 0047 0392-143 20
  • Or call Emergency Guidance at Telephone 11777
  • There are a First Aid Kit in the reception and Dining Hall
EVERYONE DOES THEIR PART – SERVE EACH OTHER:
  • We long to be a church-community where everyone does something to help, where everyone gets to join and serve each other, and where everyone is needed. The same goes for the camp, everyone is free to join in and pray for and encourage others.
  • In addition we all get to serve each other by doing a practical work-task during the week. Everyone will choose a task when they register. These work-tasks are important in order for the camp to function properly. 
  • That is why we ask that you are careful to remember coming to your work-task and that you arrive on time! If you ignore your task the workload will increase for the others. In the past some people have had to do the work of 4 people, which is something we want to avoid at all cost! If for some reason you are unable to fulfill your task you have the responsibility to trade tasks with someone else or find a replacement and let us know in the office. If you already know that you are not able to do your task, please let us know by emailing summercamp@vineyard.se. Thank you in advance!
