We are looking for people with Canoe Instructor experience to work on US children’s summer camps. Positions are varied to suit candidates’ level of skill and certification. US summer camps are residential, set in beautiful country settings generally by a lakeside. This is a great opportunity to work in an international setting with staff from all over the world.
Application is via the Camp America programme. Camp America provides placement matching with a camp, sponsorship for J1 cultural exchange visa, free flight from London and all support prior and during the placement.
You must be able to depart for the US in May / June and be available to work for 9 weeks at camp. Further time is allowed for independent travel (often with friends made at camp) according to your own preferences.
Participants will be required to purchase medical insurance, and pay for CRB, medical and US visa charges and air & security taxes. Small good faith deposit is payable to Camp America.
Total pocket money for the 9 weeks will be $700 to $1200 (depending on age and experience) for Specialists who are certified.
Interviews are available throughout the UK and Worldwide. Application Deadline April 2008.
Many other positions available for sports and activity experienced applicants, or those wanting to work with special needs or inner city children, or who wish to work in a faith environment. We can also place staff who are not experienced but have the enthusiasm and are prepared to work hard to ensure children enjoy their camp experience.
