As a Camp Leader, we are looking for you to get involved with the running of the programme events, ensuring the children are well looked after, engaged, supported and most importantly having fun!
Youll inspire young people to develop their own creativity, self-esteem and to value integrity, respect and collaboration with others. We divide up the children into age groups and have different, age relevant activities planned for the day.
It high energy, intense and jam-packed full of fun!
You are going to have as much fun as the children in your care. This role would suit someone looking to gain experience with working with children, to support your current studies or career progression by gaining substantial and meaningful experience through the school holidays.
Students, recent graduates, teacher and others working term times/weekend only find Camp Williams a brilliant way to spend some or all of their school holidays.
