Do you want to broaden your skills as an educator while also developing personally? Do you want to spend parts of your summer in the forests of Värmland? Then apply for a summer job as a camp leader at Utepedagogik's campgrounds this summer.

Job Responsibilities

Your task as a camp leader at Utepedagogik's campgrounds is to be responsible for children aged 9-13 or 13-16, as well as to plan and lead activities for this participant group. Camp involves round-the-clock activities for the youth and us leaders. As a leader, you will live and work at the campground together with the children and youth, so you need to be comfortable being away from home for at least 6 weeks.

Who are we looking for?

A large part of the job is to meet the needs of the youth and to be guiding in their decisions. To meet this, we believe that you as a person need to be confident in yourself, your leadership role, and able to set boundaries. You also need to feel comfortable in more life-oriented conversations. It is largely similar to working in a school where there are demands to set boundaries while also creating relationships to ensure a safe environment.

Personal qualities:

• responsible
• problem solver
• good at juggling many tasks
• initiative
• creative
• boundary setter
• organized
• punctual
• team player
• confident in oneself and in the educator role

It is also important that you can give and receive feedback and have the ambition and desire to develop the organization and yourself together with us. You should be flexible and resilient as the work shifts can be both long and demanding. To work as a camp leader, we believe that qualities such as being able to take space in a group, being able to make mistakes and be playful, as well as being able to make decisions are necessary. We place great value on humor and social competence.

Experience

You who are applying should have a strong interest in guiding children and youth, as well as working outdoors since most of our activities are conducted outside. Experience in setting boundaries and building relationships with children aged 9-16 is important. We believe that those who have experience with elementary school students have a good foundation for succeeding in your role as a camp leader. Activities we do include hiking, building rafts, climbing, swimming, and cooking outdoors. We will also have artistic activities such as theater, dance, and singing. Disco, football tournaments, and themed days are also on the schedule.

Experience/competence in any of these areas is desirable:

• camp/camp activities
• outdoor life
• healthcare
• paddling
• theater
• singing, music
• sports
• cooking
• community life
