Veteran Project Vig is a volunteer-driven initiative created to improve quality of life for veterans and their families. Each year, the organisation sets up Camp Dannevirke at Vig Festival in Denmark, inviting members and their families to enjoy a week together under the open sky.

The camp gives families the opportunity to spend time away together in a safe and supportive setting, surrounded by people who understand the challenges they may face.

For some families, the lack of camping equipment was a barrier to taking part. When the volunteers behind Camp Dannevirke reached out to Oase Outdoors, we were happy to help make it possible for more members to join. We sponsored 24 Outwell tents for the camp, giving all participants a comfortable place to rest under canvas.

“It was truly overwhelming to see our participants arrive and discover that large, beautiful tents from Outwell had already been pitched. It gave me a feeling of happiness right to my core and strengthened my motivation to raise funds so that Camp Dannevirke can continue far into the future. We can truly see that what we are doing is incredibly meaningful and creates something that was not there before.”

- Morten, Veteran Project Vig

The volunteers shared that some participating families live with challenges connected to military service, including PTSD, anxiety and the impact these can have on everyday family life. For some, joining social activities or spending time away from home can feel like a big step.

This is where the camp makes a real difference. By removing practical and financial barriers, Veteran Project Vig creates a welcoming space where families can relax, reconnect and share time with others who understand their situation.

Camp Dannevirke was once again a great success, welcoming 100 parents and children for fresh air, music and good times together. We are proud to support initiatives that give children and their families a safe place to recharge, connect and enjoy the outdoors.
