Camp Counselor & Trip Leader Jobs in Western Europe

Be an English teacher at the best adventure camp in Germany. Develop your teaching skills by playing ESL games and leading the odd song while passing on important language skills to your students. This is the ultimate recreational teaching combo! Camp activities run weeklong and one weekday is set aside for an excursion to a local town or an amusement park. Every second week, our campers, teachers, and leaders go on an overnight hike and camp out in the woods. Deliver conversational English lessons—through games, activities, fun excursions, mini field trips, debates, drama, music, and other creative techniques—that become the talking point around the campfire. Stay for 5 – 10 weeks this summer and explore central Europe with your newfound friends afterward. We ask you to bring bags of energy (and your sleeping bag, of course) for educating eager campers between the ages of 6 and 16. This is a once-in-a-lifetime internship, a summer filled with the most amazing experiences.
