    Description

    Dear friends,

    We want to invite you to spend the next summer at our CAMP for AWESOME KIDS (together with more than 25 international staff members), in the unique and beautiful region of Transylvania, Romania.

    Here we want you to feel at home, as you join a fantastic team that will have lots of fun, create magic together, and inspire young generations to live with passion!

    We have positions available to be part of the hospitality team and activity leaders.

    Our hospitality staff assist the kitchen staff in preparing meals, serving in the restaurant and bar and are responsible for the preparation and maintenance of these areas. This role is very important for the satisfaction of children, teachers and the overall experience at our summer camp.

    We use English as our main language for activities but get ready to learn some Romanian words and expressions as you go.
    Please take some minutes to mindfully read these paragraphs as we have prepared them to give you a big and clear picture of the Life at Camp.

    We would LOVE to have you here because:

    + With your mindful presence and contribution, we will create a multicultural environment that allows all members to cooperate and grow, as we lead groups of children through a fun and inspiring experience.
    + You can share your stories, energy, and ideas to make camp a unique experience every week. Our kids will love to meet you and learn from you as much as they can, from your personality to your country’s culture and all the creativity and activities you propose. We will do our best to support those ideas you bring in.
    + We need your help to empower our children and teens by becoming a role model to them, teaching them good values and habits that can transform their lives while creating long lasting memories and friendships.
    + We want to bring the World to the children of Romania, which come from every corner of the country. Give them the chance to see life from different perspectives and connect with you as this exchange happens.
    + You can share your talents, abilities, and energy, as you develop leadership, communication, and teamwork skills. You will also get to challenge yourself and connect with like-minded people.

    So please consider joining us in this ambitious and certainly rewarding mission!

    OTHER GREAT REASONS to come here...

    + ROMANIA IS BEAUTIFUL, and its people are extremely WELCOMING! You will come to the center of the country, the region of Transylvania, and you will live in a small village located 15 minutes away from Alba Iulia, a slow-paced city with a wonderful UNESCO Site.
    + Your accommodation is FULLY COVERED.
    + It's a FUN and EXCITING project: You will have freedom and support to design and implement camp’s activities that fit your area of skill and experience. Campers are between 6 and 17 years old. You will enjoy from outdoor games and sports to arts and crafts and dances. Team building challenges and talent shows as well, without forgetting our special Campfire and Carnival nights.
    + You will have the opportunity to join some day trips and hikes in the free time.
    + NEW FRIENDS are waiting for you, since you will live and work together with other young people from all over the world, you will have the opportunity to make connections and enjoy this experience together, both during activities and during your free time.
    + A lot of our staff members keep coming back summer after summer, so it might not be the last time we see each other :)
    + The camp site IS AMAZING, it has everything we need, a lot of facilities and it’s located in a nice and charming village, surrounded by countryside landscapes and nature.
    + We offer the net minimum wage in Romania for all tasks and hours worked

    + We saved the best reason for you to be here, for the end: Our CHILDREN. They are amazing, very energetic, smart, with smiling and grateful faces, they connect with international leaders very easily and you will be their idol as soon as they see you!
    Trust us, it’s been proved already, be ready to feel like a famous star and sign lots of t-shirts at the end of each camp! :)

    DURATION of your stay:

    - Minimum 4 weeks (from mid-June to early September)
    - Maximum – around 3 months (we start at the beginning June and we end the season in the first week of September).

    About your tasks as a Camp Counselor:

    - You will join one of our Programs each week (English, Life Skills, Around the World, Sports or Games) as an active member of a team, and you will work together to develop quality sessions that fulfill your program’s goals. All campers have four activity blocks per day (you will be in 2 of them) and after dinner we all co-lead the Evening Program (every day is different, we will have contests, talent show, campfire, carnival, etc.). We have a meeting every evening to clarify next day’s agenda and responsibilities. The remaining time is your time off. As a support role, once a week, you may supervise campers during all breaks and lead a warmup session (normally 4 to 6 staff members per day), which gives you the opportunity to connect with all campers, have some chill conversations with them as you provide needed assistance in specific locations, and make sure all participants follow the co-existence agreements.

    - You will help us organize those camp activities and lead them, which means setting them up, giving instructions, playing with participants, teaching some skills, encouraging positive energy and good behaviors, ensuring safety, and cleaning up (with participants support). You will have the opportunity to go with groups of children to some day trips where you get to experience life outside Camp while being co-responsible for their safety and enjoyment.

    - Activities that you would like to lead and prepare can vary from quick icebreaker games to a more structured session or project. Depending on your skills, experience, and level of confidence we invite you to lead: Arts & Crafts workshops, Dancing or Fitness sessions, other languages workshops or meditation sessions, personal development workshops with team building challenges, and any other appropriate and empowering ideas you may have.

    About your tasks if you decide to WORK in the RESTAURANT & ROOM CLEANING - once you apply you will be guided by the management of the location where we organize the summer camp and get specific training and more detailed instructions.

    OTHER DETAILS:
    You will be accommodated in a co-living space with other staff members, and here you will have access to laundry, kitchen, food storage, eating spaces and chilling areas. We ask you to cooperate by following the co-existence agreements, help us keep it clean and treat it like your own home.
    Your age: between 18-40!

    If you are interested in joining us, please contact us and we can answer any question or concern you may have!

    We are looking forward to hearing from you! :)

    Best regards,
    Camp director

    ARRIVING DETAILS:


    Search for Alba Iulia on the map. This is the closest city to Ighiu, the village where our camp is located. The campsite is about 15 minutes from the city, and you can take an Uber or Bolt directly to camp.

    The nearest airports are Cluj, Sibiu and Târgu Mureș, all around 1–2 hours from Alba Iulia.

    You can also travel by train or bus to Alba Iulia from Bucharest or Budapest, although these journeys can take up to 10 hours. Teiuș is another good option to arrive by train.

    Of course, we’re happy to help you organize your journey!
    Thank you for taking the time to read about us. We hope to welcome you to camp this season!

    Hugs! 😊
