The UK is the Holy Grail for camp jobs abroad. Imagine spending the summer working at a beautiful historic estate while getting paid to enjoy your days outside helping youth learn new skills and gain confidence doing activities like archery, canoeing, and rock climbing. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime kind of job!
In addition to your wages, your food and housing are provided – so you can use this opportunity to save towards finding a sick apartment with your new coworkers/ BFF’s after your camp closes in the fall (London anyone?). Our team makes the process of settling into the UK and arranging your camp job abroad simple for Canadians. After your role is confirmed, your personal trip coordinator will guide you every step of the way through the UK visa application, health insurance, and arranging your on-site accommodation at the camp.
Flights, medical insurance, visa and/or work permit application fees, IHS/ visa fees, police check, local transportation, food & rent.
We have a variety of camp jobs available at outdoor education centers throughout the UK. In each role, you will be working either directly or indirectly with children aged 6 to 17. Our team will work with you to find you the most suitable job from the list below based on your interests and previous work experience. If you love your job you can come back next season!

The outdoor education centers operate every summer, and you can start working your camp job between June – August.
Popular positions tend to fill up quickly, so the sooner you start planning, the better.
There are various sizes of camps available depending on your personal preference. The largest has around 250 staff, while the smallest only has around 40 staff. There will be a combination of local permanent employees and seasonal international staff (just like you) from all over the world! Also, there can be between 150 to 1,200 kids staying at the camp at any time so you definitely won’t get lonely.
All of the camps have allocated staff accommodations that usually consist of shared rooms and a common lounge area. Meals are served in the dining hall and are prepared by the onsite catering team. Most of the centers provide free wifi and they all have laundry facilities available. Some of the larger camps even have on-site bars to relax in at the end of the evening!
Working hours vary depending on your role, but normally you will be working 37 to 42 hours a week split over either five or six days. During your 12-week job placement, you could be entitled to a total of 6 days of vacation that could be used to explore the UK and Europe!
Wages can fluctuate based on your role, experience and location, but most of our participants find that after taxes, accommodation and food are deducted, they are left with at least $4,500 CAD after completing their summer camp job. This makes the UK Summer Camp Program a great option to save for future travels.
