Workplace Description

Our campgrounds are located in scenic environments in Norrtälje and Sörmland. Being at camp means a change of environment, fun outdoor activities, and social interaction with others for our participants. For relatives, it provides a relief in everyday life. Many of our employees have worked at our camps for a long time and return annually. Working as a camp leader is rewarding and educational, as you contribute to providing our participants with a wonderful and memorable vacation filled with both joy and rest.

We are now looking for staff for our camps during the winter and Easter holidays in 2025.

We are looking for you who enjoy working with others and want to contribute to creating a meaningful stay for our participants.
