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.

Contract type: Freelance

Starting date: As soon as possible

Job focus: Counselor

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 - because who said learning only happens at a desk?

Kids are born explorers, and at Oskar lernt Englisch we give that curiosity plenty of room to run wild. One moment we’re abseiling down castle walls, the next we’re windsurfing on the North Sea or racing through the Black Forest in an epic game of capture the flag. We get creative with art in the Bavarian Alps, focus on film-making, learn slick new dance moves, and dive into all sorts of projects - all in English, of course!

Our mission? To make learning English feel exciting, natural, and totally accessible. With energetic, empathetic, and culturally diverse instructors leading the way, campers get to boost their language skills while making memories, discovering new passions, and forming friendships that last long after camp ends.

At Oskar lernt Englisch, we don’t just teach English; we lead children into a wider, more exciting world.

What We Offer

Camp life is full-on, but we make sure you’re supported while swinging through treetops, shooting arrows like Robin Hood, or leading kids on wild adventures.
