  Description

  ACCOMMODATION and ALL MEALS provided, LGBT friendly!
  (PAYING POSITION: 80 EUR/WEEK, 40 EUR/3 days projects, meals and accommodation provided).
  
  PLEASE CHECK YOUR LOGISTICS AND PRICES TO TRAVEL TO VILNIUS BEFORE YOU APPLY. 9 out of 10 applicants first ask us a million questions only to later realise they cannot afford the trip. We value your time as much as we do ours so make sure you know what the prices of the tickets are before you send us your inquiry.
  
  We are a language school with two branches in Vilnius and one in Kaunas, as well as three campsites off the campus in the beautiful Anykščiai/Utena area. We actively participate in workaway, especially in summers.
  
  At the moment we are looking for native English speakers, also non-natives with no less than B2 in English who would be able and willing to work with teens in NATURE camps in Anykščiai area (that is a remote rural area, the closest small town Anykščiai is about 16 kilometers away, so lots of nature, zero clubs for parties).
  
  If you are natively English, American, Canadian or Australian (or a non-native with great English), love teaching and a good laugh, are relaxed and independent, can communicate with very different people and do little moaning, then do contact us. After the camp we'll gladly provide you with a certificate and references for your future projects if needed.
  
  POSITIONS AVAILABLE for:
  
  Camp Leader in Christmas Camp 2024 Dec 27-30 (3 nights, pay 40 EUR/project)
  
  Camp Leader in Summer NATURE Camp 2025 summer (ANYKSCIAI AREA) - will suit you well if you love nature and teenagers are more interesting than annoying to you :) (3 weeks min, pay 80 EUR/week)
  
  
  N.B. We'd be delighted to welcome people with medical/first aid training who would be able to take care of minor health problems of the campers.
  
  
  JOB DESCRIPTION
  
  The responsibilities will include independently (using our resources or the internet) preparing activities and organising classes/seminars/workshops in English to kids and teens in a fun and entertaining way. The responsibilities will NOT include moaning and nagging and being lazy. We're expecting you to be quick witted and flexible, so that we can trust you with a group of 10-15 teenagers to manage during activity time. Sense of humour, ability to relate and talk to teens as well as show initiative in organising all types of activities would be very useful.
  
  Please bear in mind that the campers may range from zero English to quite fluent.
  We also would like to emphasise that the main purpose of our camps is fun and entertainment, education is not our primary goal, so do not be afraid to apply if you have zero teaching experience.
  
  If you have some activities in your head that you believe would work out great in the camp, let us know and we'll include them in the schedule. The crazier the idea - the better; teens love teachers who're slightly nuts!
  
  Once we agree you'd be joining us, we'd decide which activities you could and would like to cover, discuss their contents and ask you to send us your preparatory materials a bit in advance just to see how it would look in the context of all the event or help you out if you're struggling with some idea or its realisation.
  
  We will provide you with accommodation (a room on the campsite, shared). The place is rural but all you need is there - cooking facilities, hot water, electricity, gas, internet. We will help you to sort out your transportation to/from the campsite.
  
  In Anykščiai nature camps you'll be on the same campsite with all teachers and teenagers (around 30-50 of them) all the time so be prepared for lots of social interaction. It would be great if you could prepare at least 5 group games as an activity you can use when you run out of ideas, just to be on the safe side (can be outdoor or indoor activities, most important that they do not require too much stuff and preparation time).
  
  If you have questions, do not hesitate to ask. We'll arrange a video call with all candidates.
