What Work Do You Do In Activity Camps & Kids’ Camps Jobs?
Well, just about anything really. Students who find jobs in activity camps or kids’ camps over summer or Easter could end up doing all sorts of things. It all depends on the kind of activity camp that you find yourself in.
Some kids’ camps have a sports focus – so you could end up coaching football to youths in an activity camp job. There are also musical camps which would be ideal if you play an instrument of any kind and would like to help kids over the holidays.
Other camps that provide jobs for students are more general so you could be tearing down zip-wires, rock-scrambling or hitting the climbing walls.
Whatever job role you undertake in a kids’ camp or activity camp, you should definitely have a lot of fun!
Okay, So Kids Camps Are Good Fun…Any Other Plus Points?
Lots of activity camps that offer jobs to students over the summer or Easter breaks also provide accommodation so it means you get to see another part of the UK – or even another country – while you gain some work experience and have some fun.
Also, there are now activity camps that don’t work on a purely voluntary basis. You can often find kids’ camp jobs that pay you a salary for the two or three months that you work for them. Okay, it’s not going to be a six figure sum – but it does make activity jobs even more attractive if you can earn while you also get some experience for your CV.
What Experience Will I Need For Activity & Kids’ Camps Jobs?
For most support roles and general jobs in activity camps, you won’t need any previous experience. There are, however, a few specialist jobs where any extra knowledge you have in certain areas could help put you ahead of other people in the pecking order.
