American Camp Counselor in France this Autumn

American Village Camps seek energetic, creative, initiative-takers who are native English speakers & love working with children at our camps in France. Counselors live on camp! They create and lead activities, as well as English classes.

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 between the months of February & October at a variety of locations across France. We are now hiring for our Autumn Camp from October 20 - 29, 2016.

Counselors are responsible for the safety and well-being of the campers under their care. Counselors lead by example.

They will brainstorm fun skits, activities and ESL class ideas based on the camp's themes. These themes are based on US American history, arts, sports, culture, ecology, and language. Each counselor is an important member of a multi-cultural counselor team in the village!

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!
