A Guide to Camp Counselor Jobs Abroad

Why Work Abroad as a Camp Counselor

In the summer months in between classes, or even after you have graduated from university and aren’t yet ready to settle into a full time position, spending time abroad leading trips or day activities with children or young adults can be a perfect opportunity. Fortunately, camps are almost always hiring (so opportunities go beyond summer camp jobs), because of the seasonal nature of their work, so it will not be difficult to secure a camp counselor job abroad that interests you in nearly any nation that appeals to you.

As seasonal work, working as a camp counselor abroad offers incredible flexibility, with the chance to travel to a destination for a few months and have a paying job while you’re there. Trip leader or camp counselor jobs abroad will allow you to not only travel while still earning money, you’ll also be able to make a difference in the lives of young people around the world and improve your leadership skills at the same time. Though seasonal work can be stressful because of the rapid movement, many find it invigorating and enjoy the months off between seasons where they can travel on their own.

If you haven’t yet decided on a career path, or are interested in teaching in the future, experience working as a camp counselor abroad can be a wonderful addition to your resume, illustrating to future employees your passion for travel, youth education, and a variety of other activities, such as outdoor education or foreign languages.
