BUNAC Summer Camp

Earn at least USD $2,250 camp salary with meals and accommodation included working at a summer camp in America with BUNAC JENZA.

Between June and August each year, Camp Directors hire 18-30 year olds from all over the world to work for 7-9 weeks at camp. From coaching soccer to teaching crafts, your role will be secured before you go working as a General Counsellor, Activity Specialist or Additional Needs Counsellor – or a hybrid role where you do a bit of everything.

You will need some childcare experience in order to apply - this could be experience coaching a youth sports team, Cubs/Brownies group, youth group etc. If you don't have this experience yet, get yourself signed up now as it's not too late!
