Camp Counselors Russia - Russian Federation

Product Details

Work as a camp counselor on an Russian summer camp

As a counselor, you are a teacher, a leader and a friend to a group of children between the ages of eight and 16. You are responsible for the safety and well being of your campers and for giving them the time of their lives! You will spend most of the day outdoors with counselors performing a wide variety of duties - each day will bring something new. It's a challenge and one of the most rewarding things you will ever do. By the end of the summer, you will have discovered a lot about Russian culture and yourself.

Have the perfect summer...

Every summer thousands of children head off for camps across Russia, from the shores of Lake Baikal to the beaches of the Black Sea. Each camp has its own philosophy, but all provide children a place to relax while having fun in an outdoor setting. In many ways, these camps resemble those in the United States and Canada. They are usually located in rural settings, miles away from the nearest town.

Typically, a camp will have a large dining hall, crafts and sports buildings and dormitories. Children usually come for sessions lasting 10 to 28 days. Many camp activities take place in the beautiful Russian countryside, often by a lake or river, which provides a glorious setting for swimming, boating and canoeing. Other activities may include theater, land sports, arts, crafts, dance, performing arts and teaching

We offer two positions in our Russia Program; camp counselor or English/American culture instructor. You receive free room and board throughout the programme.

Qualifications required

If you are interested in working with children, then this is definitely for you! Please don't worry if you do not have any experience or qualifications (even better if you do), as full training will be given. As long as you are outgoing, patient, have loads of energy, enjoy working with children, and think you can make a child's summer the best ever, then you are a perfect candidate!
