Enlarged over the years
This imposing structure, Dimitry had built it with his own hands for five years. “”She first was 20 m2 and I enlarged her over the years until he arrived at 96 m2 three years ago. It is strongly used and appreciated. It is really the central room of the camp, with the Weaver, which I also erected on my own. They asked me for a lot of time and energy. Humanly, it’s not easy to see them on the ground. “
Today, there is indeed only one heap of wood and scrap metal … “The apparatus can surely be recovered, but for the rest, it is irreparable, we will have to reconstruct everything. “ As of this Thursday morning, the manager went on site to deal with the most urgent. “”It is absolutely necessary to dismantle everything, free, sort and evacuate. In the meantime, we must secure the area because children were already arriving this Thursday morning. The camp remains open. “
Stay in a stay
This “tile” arrives at the worst time for the Wanzois while the internships will begin and the site welcomes the Belgian OCR championship on August 24 (Belgian Obstacle Race Racing Federation), an obstacle race competition. “”For internships, I can keep them because there are many other activities. For the competition, you have to see … If we have not rebuilt the two obstacle structures by then, it will be canceled. “
He also remains the thorny financial question. The manager assesses the damage between 8,000 and 10,000 €, a dry loss because insurance does not intervene. “”I have to think about it all, how to finance. I can no longer rebuild the two structures myself, I no longer have time. I will have to call on professionals. “
Towards a solidarity kitty
Solidaires, several relatives, close and sympathizers of Monkey Camp have already expressed the idea of creating a kitty to help the reconstruction of the two structures. “”It’s a blow, I’m going to get up but I don’t know when … “says Dimitry.
Each year, the Monkey Camp welcomes between 3000 and 4,000 visitors for internships, competitions, teambuildings, birthdays, sports training …
