Descripción
Our camp is a non-profit that organizes English Summer Camps on the Slopes of the Carpathian Mountains near the town of Smolenice, which is 50km from the capital, Bratislava. There are a total of three trips, starting July 6, July 14 and 28. The kids have 2 fun English lessons in the morning and a typical camp program for the rest of the day with choice activities, big group games, discos and campfires. We also go for a day trip and do a bit of rock climbing on a rock behind the dining hall. The days are long but it is an awful lot of fun and I can tell, cos I am going there for 21st! time already.

My stay in the Camp was both fulfilling and challenging! It was fulfilling because I really enjoyed the great companionship with Ed and his team as well as the fun atmosphere of each course; and it was also challenging because, as a novice teacher, I felt a little bit overwhelmed by the combination of work for English teachers and cabin… read more

I believe this experience is what Workaway is truly about: Working in a foreign country, in exchange for food and accomodation, but also much more than that...
Workaway is also about:
- Facing new challenges / The biggest challenge for me, was to make the 9-11 y/o kids follow my instructions.
-Seeing the world through a different a perspective… read more

Although I stayed for a shorter time than planned, I am very greateful to Ed, the Camp, Slovakia and the team that I got to meet during my time in the camp. I chose to end my stay as I needed time and energy to focus on my own projects, but the camp and the kids still managed to touch me and allow me to have fun and gather new life-lessons!

I worked as an English teacher for two consecutive camps in summer 2020, and the only way I can describe this place is as a 'kids' heaven'. The team is so professional, open-minded, respectful, and caring about the kids' time and enjoyment. It's like a huge family; Ed is very considerate and he's a great boss to work with, and the kids are… read more

The camp was an amazing experience.. a return to teenagehood that I enjoyed to the most. Being away from the city, playing and teaching english to the children and young students every day PLUS campfires and karaoke night made those 2 weeks as greatest as ever expected.

Leticia joined us only for 2 weeks, but she made a great impression in that short time. She made the lessons fun and interactive, always prepared well and especially took great care in giving each kid the attention and care they needed. Her cheerfulness, enthusiasm and caring nature made her the ideal person for the job. Leticia, I wish you all… read more

This summer camp was our best experience that we ever had! Ed and the others counselors were fantastic! We had a lot of fun with the kids and also with the team. We played, sang and danced and many different activities. We have no words to describe this camp. We recommend to do this to all the people, and if you like the kids, having fun, speaking… read more

Alicia and Vivian worked at our camp for 2 weeks only, but we were very happy that they did. They came to Slovakia just for this job and were very motivated to do well. They had great actitivies for the kids with a bit of Spanish flavour added and wore the most ridiculous but wonderful costumes. They were also excellent team players who were… read more

I loved the 4 weeks I spent there. Everyone helped make the experience so enjoyable and there was a great dynamic amongst the counsellors and a great relationship with the kids. The days are very long but the work often doesn't feel like work and there is definitely still time for fun.

Another hard-working caring volunteer with a heart of gold. Alex did 2 trips at camp and got better and better at his job as things progressed. He was always ready to go and against his own nature we got him to do crazy stuff like wearing a T-rex costume or flying around like cupido. He could also suprise you by organizing a completely new… read more

What a wonderfully busy two weeks this was! Early mornings, full days, and late evenings filled with fun, learning, games, and disco. Every moment was fun and memorable. From hosting the talent show, dressing up for different roles for the group games, to creating fun game-style English lessons, and leading campfire songs... there was never a dull… read more

Melony, although an experienced teacher, was in for a bit of a shock when she arrived at camp and found out what it means to entertain kids with English in the summer. Fortunately, she is a real go-getter. After the first day (and with a bit of help) she had already figured it all out and from that day onwards she did an amazing job. Not just… read more

It was a great experience to work at the Camp together with Ed, Miguel, and the rest of the team.

Christian joined us for 2 trips, but he would have added another if he'd only had the chance to do so. He was simply great. He got so much into camp that he was watching new camp dances and songs in his free time, so he could teach and perform them the next day. He is a hard worker who is keen to take on extra responsibilities, so much so that he… read more

Aaron and Katie were the first teacher and activity leader we hired that brought their kids. It needed a bit of organization to accommodate them as the camp was full, but we managed to put them all 4 together and still give them (a bit) of privacy.

Ben did 3 camps as a teacher, which requires quite a bit of stamina, but it seemed he just gained more and more energy as we went along. The third camp he ended up being the master camp song singer and even got the teens singing the Moose song. Ben is an amazingly hard worker. Committed to whatever he sets his mind to. He is also very bright and… read more
