WHAT DOES THE JOB INVOLVE?

If you're enthusiastic, positive and dependable this could be the experience for you!

Camps are located all over Italy - from the Dolomites to Sicily. Camps are either city based (City/Day Camps) or residential (Summer Camps). Locations change every year but previous Camps have been held in Rome, Milan, Sicily, Bologna, Dolomites, Pisa, Siena, Naples to name a few. It's a great summer experience with fantastic benefits for you and the children you meet.

This is not your traditional teaching job! The program focuses on stimulating English development through the use of interesting and engaging methods such as games, songs and drama. The children are generally aged between 6 and 16. Your own creativity, input and ideas are essential to make the Camps more enjoyable for the children and yourself!

Knowledge of drama, songs and suitable games you enjoy playing are vital.

 The approximate pay is weekly, as follows:

Salaries will be paid in Euro once the contract has been completed, but advances can be arranged.

 Full board and lodged are provided. Travelling costs to and from Italy are the responsibility of the applicant.

Parents leave their children in your care so you must be responsible and attentive at all times. These Camps are usually at locations near beaches or mountains so you may be able to hike, swim, go on excursions or horse ride with the children. Evenings are spent with fun activities such as discos, games, campfires and competitions. Summer Camps are a great way to really get to know Italian kids and work in scenic locations. We usually have around five Summer Camps a year.

You must be prepared to work in all sorts of conditions. Some Camps have access to swimming pools, tennis courts, horse riding facilities, football pitches, beaches, etc. All Camps have basic resources such as markers, coloured paper, scissors, paint - but don't expect anything elaborate! Be creative! Use your imagination and come up with simple arts and crafts ideas.

Upon receipt of an application, the camp offices will do their best to send confirmation as soon as possible and in any case, within the end of April. Upon acceptance, the camp office will offer arrival instructions and the most convenient arrival airport. Please do not purchase an air ticket without camp office approval.
