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 years or 13-16 years, as well as to plan and lead activities for this participant group. Camp involves 24/7 activities for the youth and us leaders. As a leader, you 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 work is to meet the needs of youth and be able to guide them in their decisions. To meet this, we believe you need to be secure in yourself, your leadership role, and able to set boundaries. You should also 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 climate.

Personal qualities:

• responsible
• problem solver
• good at juggling many tasks
• initiative
• creative
• boundary setter
• organized
• punctual
• team player
• secure in yourself and your educational role

It is also important that you can give and receive feedback and have the ambition and desire to develop the activities and yourself together with us. You should be flexible and resilient as the work shifts can be 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 have fun, and being able to make decisions are necessary. We place great value on humor and social skills.

Experience

You should have a strong interest in guiding children and youth, as well as working outdoors since most of our activities are held outside. Experience in setting boundaries and building relationships with children aged 9-16 is important. We believe that those with experience working 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 activities
