Work: Participants of the archaeological camp, foreign volunteers and local volunteers, are engaged in auxiliary tasks of archaeological research such as removing soil from the excavation; cleaning the fortress ramparts of vegetation, moss and dirt; transporting materials to the place where they are processed; physical processing, i.e. washing the materials under the professional supervision and guidance of team members. At the "Days of the Dragons", volunteers participate in the direct organization of the space, setting up props, equipment and techniques, as well as removing them after the event. Of course, they follow the event itself as guests and part of the organization.

Accomodation and food: Volunteers would be accommodated in the premises of the local community (in that case, swimming would be organized in the building of the Dušan Vukasović Diogenes elementary school, which is 10 meters from the accommodation and has showers and a changing room - locker rooms next to the sports hall. The participants diet is organized so that the volunteers prepare breakfast themselves (the refrigerator is filled with groceries), while housewives from the village are hired to prepare lunch and dinner. Groceries are purchased in the local store, from the producers themselves. Our goal is to spend the largest possible part of the approved funds in the store, i.e. for the money to remain in the local environment and thus show its potential and encourage it to develop tourism. Restaurants located in Kupinovo also provide the opportunity to feed volunteers.
