Description
We need friendly, outgoing people in beautiful La Rioja, Spain for a summer camp for Spanish kids learning English, for two weeks in June/ July.
We run a very small summer camp for Spanish primary school kids in our Bed and Breakfast. We are looking for helpers to play sports, make crafts, swim in the river and pool, hike in the mountains, and generally be enthusiastic, energetic, happy, and friendly to help with a small group(6 to 8 children per group)! We need you to speak English with the kids. (but you´ll learn Spanish too). We expect everyone to help out with the general cleaning of the camp.
No smokers. No alcohol during the week. You help out in the morning or the afternoon, but if you consider going for a hike in the mountain, looking after kids in a swimming pool or at the river, playing basketball or soccer with a group of kids hard work, then this isn't for you. Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning off and a short bus to the local city for a night out if you want.
You get a bed in a shared room with the kids in the camp, meals, and minimum wage as per regulation. We cannot provide much differentiation of meals, we eat what the kids eat. Mostly vegetarian is doable, but strict vegan isn't.
We are looking for people to stay for two weeks.

Help
As adults, we are the ones to keep the kids active, safe, and entertained all day. We work in two shifts because the kids have more energy than we do! But it is a lot of fun ad we laugh all day long. Lots of our helpers return year after year.
