  Description

  Hoi, Salut, Olá & Hello :)
  
  We organise buzzing surf & language camps for kids aged 12 to 17 in Portugal - and we’re every bit as colourful, dynamic and lively as the languages we help our students to learn. Learning languages ​​can be, and should be, fun!
  
  The receipt for our holiday camp is simple: surf sessions in the morning with an external surf school and optional energetic language courses on some afternoons but nothing compared to school. Amazing excursions, plenty of sports and creativity added in the afternoons and evenings, garnished with a contagious international and open-minded vibe of a young multi-lingual and professional team of fellow world explorers.
  
  !! ENGLISH/GERMAN/FRENCH TEACHERS (NATIVE SPEAKERS): 13.July – 16. August 2025 !! ideally with qualification and/or teaching experience.
  
  !! CHILDREN/ TEEN ANIMATOR: 13.July – 16. August 2025 !! Funky and good with kids and great at organising while keeping a cool head.

  Are you motivated and qualified for one of these positions? Then convince us why we should welcome you on board.
  🙏🏼 PLEASE be so kind and only get in touch if your profile matches our requirements. Merci and no hard feelings. 🙏🏼
  
  For our sessions during these four weeks in summer we are looking for: Cool, funny, easy going, creative, sporty, constructive, forward thinking, motivated, driven and energetic minds! being experienced in working with kids is a must, understanding how a team of different backgrounds and capacities works, too. If this is you - this will not just be a job, it will be an unforgettable, adventurous and action-packed time together :)
  
  Real talk: It's a holiday camp and not a 9 to 5 office job. It will be an unforgettably beautiful and fun time but intense too. We are surrounded by kids almost constantly. We are strongly advising not to join primarily for the money or if you are looking for a "chilled job". We need to live the energy, have a positive and flexible attitude and always take unexpected events with a smile :)

  This host offers a language exchange
  Within our team we always have French, English and (Swiss) German mother tongue speakers around since we teach those 3 languages to the kids. Usually Spanish/ Portuguese/ Italian too. English is our main language of communication. Personally my mother tongue is German but having lived in Argentina, Ireland, Brasil and the French speaking part of Switzerland apart from others I speak all those beautiful languages too and I am very keen to share and add to your, my and our knowledge.

  Accommodation

  Our camp takes place in Areia Branca, one hour up north from Lisbon, Portugal. We offer dormitories with 2 to 4 single beds per room and usually manage to separate female and male rooms. If you prefer a single room, throw a mattress in a storage room or bring your own camper van. Accommodation is rather basic than 5 star but if you ever stayed in a dormitory of a budget hostel in Panama or Morocco you will love it, no worries :) We have our own kitchen team and always offer vegan and vegetarian options on top. Accommodation, meals and excursions are included.

  What else ...

  Every week we take all kids on different excursions which is a great opportunity to join and explore what the region of Lourinhã has to offer: Baleal Islands, Óbidos, Lisbon and countless beautiful beaches. In your time off you are completely free to organise yourself. We cannot offer you a car but getting around by bus is convenient and cheap in Portugal.
