Summer Camp Counselors and Support Staff Placements

Placements available on the J-1 Visa program through the U.S. Department of State. Work placements of up to 3 months at a U.S. summer camp, followed by an optional 1 month travel period. * Counselors Counselors care for a group of campers 24 hours a day for 8 to 15 weeks. While this job can be exhausting, it is also very rewarding. Counselors are role models for their campers and can profoundly impact their lives. A strong counselor speaks fluent English, is mature and flexible and has a good sense of humor. * Support Staff Support staff are responsible for the behind-the-scenes work that keeps camp running, such as maintenance, laundry, housekeeping, and cooking. In some camps, you may only do one job all summer and in others, you may rotate jobs throughout the week. Support staff jobs require long hours of physical labor, but you'll receive a slightly higher stipend than counselors.

A Guide to Parks and Recreation Jobs Abroad

Why Work Abroad in Parks & Recreation?

National parks are some of the best ways to experience the natural diversity of a new country. Even as civilizations progress, mankind has learned to adapt to parts of nature— which in turn influenced the culture of the region. With a job abroad in parks and recreation, you’ll gain insight on the development of people and culture (along with some fire selfies with squirrels)! 

Staffing in public parks is kept in a relatively small range, so you’ll be able to form super tight bonds with your co-workers (maybe even find the Andy to your April along the way?). Despite playing different roles, at the end of the day you and your team are all working towards the same goal of preserving nature. If you’re in a country that speaks a different language, the full immersion of a parks & recreation job abroad will hone your skills in no time.

Another perk of being an international worker in a field that caters specifically to visitors is the ability to understand different perspectives. By living abroad, you will be put right in the worn shoes of travelers themselves— thus allowing you to provide a better experience by anticipating their needs.
