JOIN OUR TEAM FOR CAMPS 2026
For our English language camps in Radstadt, we are looking for motivated, passionate Native English speakers to join our team as English Teachers and Activity Leaders.
English Teacher
As an English Teacher, you play a key role in creating a positive, supportive, and motivating learning environment for children and teens. You teach English in a truly international camp setting, working with your own group of around 10–15 students.
Your role goes far beyond the classroom. You design and deliver engaging, interactive English lessons that encourage learners to communicate confidently and enjoy using the language. Through creative tasks, games, discussions, and real-life communication, you help students develop their language skills in a fun, playful, and pedagogically meaningful way.
In addition to teaching, English Teachers are fully involved in camp life: you accompany children on excursions, help plan and lead language-based evening activities, and support the well-being of the children throughout the day. Most importantly, you inspire and motivate young people to use English naturally, build confidence, and discover the joy of learning—often achieving more in one camp week than they ever thought possible.
Activity Leader
As an Activity Leader, you will plan and deliver an exciting sports and leisure programme that keeps participants active, engaged, and fully immersed in their camp experience. You will lead on-site games and activities and accompany the children on thrilling adventures such as rafting, high ropes courses, and trips to the public pool.
You will also encourage participants to use English naturally throughout all activities, helping them develop their language skills in a fun and immersive way beyond the classroom. Beyond organising activities, you act as a trusted mentor and role model, supporting the children’s well-being, safety, and happiness while creating lasting memories and a positive, inspiring camp environment.
Whether you work as an English Teacher or an Activity Leader, you will:
- Create lasting memories with participants from all over the world
- Be part of a supportive, international team
- Make a real impact by helping children and teens grow in confidence, independence, and language skills
- Play a key role in delivering an unforgettable camp experience
If you are interested in working in other camps and your German skills are good enough, you will find more information about other camps HERE.
