Do you have experience with child care, au/bro pairing, tutoring, or teaching? What are you waiting for? Be a part of our crew!
We are expanding our dynamic, international team and need Camp Counselors (m/f/d) to work at our English language camps across Germany (North- and Baltic Sea coasts, Berlin, North Rhine-Westphalia, Hessen, Bavaria, etc.) during the 2026 holiday seasons.
Since 2002, Oskar lernt Englisch has been turning week-long English camps across Germany into unforgettable adventures for kids aged 6 – 15. We mix hands‑on, project‑based lessons with lively, outdoor fun.
Our mission is to make learning English feel exciting, natural, and totally accessible. Energised, empathetic, and culturally diverse instructors lead the way, boosting campers’ language skills while creating long‑lasting memories and friendships that extend beyond camp.
We offer:

- First aid certification on us.

- Pay that grows with you: Earn more as you return for more camps!
Your tasks:
- Seasonal freelance role during the German school holidays.
- Lead fun, project‑based English lessons each morning using provided lesson plans.
- Responsible for running a film program in the afternoons: storyboarding, script writing, costumes and acting, sound, and planning a filming schedule for the week – this is your chance to be a producer!
- Support and supervise children during meals and break times.
- Run creative workshops, sports sessions, and activities in the evenings.
- Bring your energy, enthusiasm, and positive spirit to camp every day!
