4 · The season

6 weeks at camp

CampCamp Europe

WhereWalsrode, Germany

RoleCamp counselor, seniors 12 to 15

A director at Camp Europe, on international teamers

What makes us choose someone is usually the motivation: how excited they are for a new experience, and that they understand what they are getting into.

Ahmed Sameh, Operations Manager, Camp Europe

Would hire again

Before: It is always a worry how flexible an international counselor is, and whether they can adapt well to the international environment.
Arrival: The international staff usually come prepared. They receive the manual on packing, what to bring and what to expect.
During the season: They bring new energy, new games and activities from home, and a language and culture the children meet every day. "Where are you from?" becomes a real conversation, and the children discover their world is much bigger than their hometown.

180 to 200 staff per season

5 · In her words

Saffron, after the summer

“Scouting gave me so much growing up; six weeks at Camp Europe let me give some of it back, in two languages.”
