Responsibilities
Join the adventure with American Village Camps
Since 1994, we've been offering English immersion programs for French children aged 8 to 15 across the beautiful French countryside. We’re currently hiring Camp Counselors for our Spring School Trips (March to June), and our Summer Camps (July to August).
Your Role:
As an English Language Counselor, you'll live at one of our residential camps and become a key part of the children's English immersion experience. No French allowed, English only! Through creative games, songs, classes, and hands-on activities, you'll make language learning a fun and unforgettable adventure.
You’ll be:
- Leading sports, arts & crafts, theatre, team games, and more — all in English.
- Hosting English classes in an engaging and playful format.
- Singing camp songs, telling stories, and keeping the camp spirit alive!
- Building strong bonds with children and working collaboratively with an international team.
What We’re Looking For:
We’re searching for energetic, caring, and creative individuals who love working with kids and are ready to bring English to life.
Must-haves:
- Experience with children (teaching, childcare, tutoring, coaching…).
- Fluent English speaker (CEFRL level C1 or higher).
- Knowledge of North American or British culture to enrich our activities.
- Ability to work in a team, communicate clearly, and stay organized.
- Teaching experience (though no CELTA/TEFL is needed).
- EU nationality or valid French work authorization (we cannot sponsor visas).
What You’ll Gain:
This isn’t just a job, it’s an experience that will boost your CV, your confidence, and your creativity.
- Salary: €2005/month (gross) for our Schoool Trip Camps, and €56.85/day (gross) for our Summer Camps.
- Free meals, housing, bedding, and laundry at camp.
- Up to €100 reimbursement for travel to your assigned location.
Meet like-minded people from around the world and create memories for life!
