If you consider yourself to be energetic, adventurous and dedicated, are at least 18 years of age and have experience of working with kids in a leadership position, then Summer Camp USA may be just what you are looking for.

Spend the summer working with kids aged 6 to 16 on an American summer camp. BUNAC, the specialist in overseas work and travel programmes, is looking to recruit enthusiastic, experienced people to teach a variety of activities for nine weeks as a specialist/general counsellor.

The core camp activities of horse riding, tennis, gymnastics, swimming/other water sports, outdoor pursuits, theatre and arts/crafts are in particular demand. The first stage is to attend a regional interview so that we can assess your skills, experience and suitability for camp. Once you have been accepted onto the programme, you will receive a carefully selected, specific job placement before leaving the UK.

BUNAC's personal placement process ensures that if you have good experience working with kids then you'll have an excellent chance of being placed in a position that best suits your preferences.
