ROLE SUMMARY:

At Inspired Camps, we pride ourselves on the quality of our classes. The main role of summer camp teacher is to thoroughly plan and execute top quality lessons to their class of approximately 10 kids each day. Teachers shall use their own resources to adapt the lessons to the age group and level of the students. However, some resource pack might be provided to teachers in order to help them with planning.

We provide intensive training for teachers and ongoing support from our managers to ensure that they are able to succeed in creating the most fun, dynamic and learning-centered classes possible for their group of campers.

Teachers on SIS Camps don’t just teach and plan; they are also involved in other parts of the day such as supervising snack time at the end of their lessons as well as educational project sessions. In addition to this, we might need some of them to join the arrivals day and help with some tasks. More information will be provided before camp starts.

We expect Camp teachers to be individuals full of imagination, passion and energy in order to meet the extraordinary demands of camp work.
