English/American Camp Counselors in France : American Village Camps

 
American Village Camps seek energetic, creative, initiative-takers who are native English speakers & love working with children at our camps in France.

American Village camps are for French children, ages 7 to 17 years old. Our English-immersion camps have been creating a positive environment where it is fun, natural & necessary to use English for over 20 years!

We hire North American, British, and French counselors for periods of 1 to 10 weeks from February to October at a variety of locations across France.

Counselors live on camp! They create and lead activities, as well as English classes. They are responsible for the safety and well-being of the campers under their care. Each counselor is an important member of a multi-cultural counselor team in the village!

Advantages

Apply to this unique work experience in rural France, working on a multi-cultural team and meeting people from all over France as well as Anglophone countries across the globe - all while having fun with the campers under your care.

• Monthly Salary (770 Euros a month)

• Lodging and meals included

• 150 euros reimbursement on inter-continental airfare into Europe/Schengen Zone

• 50 euros reimbursement on train travel to camp, within France

• A free night at a hotel in Paris upon arrival in France

France is the number one tourist destination in the world. While our counselors live and work on-location at camp, they generally use their time before or after their employment to discover France - its traditions, cuisine, landscapes, language and people. Our teams can be quite multi-cultural and friendships are easily made in a camp setting. Working with children is a rewarding experience and also, a lot of fun!

Qualifications

We seek camp counselors who are native English speakers.

- 20 to 35 years old

- Must be able to enter Schengen Zone as a tourist (for example: US or Canadians are allowed this with a valid passport.)

**Considering the fact that fewer men work in the fields of teaching and childcare than women, we generally have more female applicants than male. However, in order to balance out the workload of our teams, some of which can be sex-specific in certain childcare situations, we strongly encourage male counselors to apply.
