Apply for your summer job for next year now!

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 around-the-clock activities for the youth and us leaders. As a leader, you will live and work at the campgrounds 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 involves meeting the needs of young people and being able to guide them in their decisions. To meet this, we believe that you as a person need to be secure in yourself, your leadership role, and able to set boundaries. You should also feel comfortable in more life-oriented conversations. This is largely similar to working in schools where there is a requirement to set boundaries while also creating relationships to ensure a safe climate.

Personal qualities:

• responsible
• problem solver
• good at juggling many tasks
• proactive
• creative
• boundary setter
• organized
• punctual
• team player
• secure in yourself and your pedagogical 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 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 have fun, and 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 if you have experience with elementary school students, you have a good foundation for succeeding in your work 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/skills in any of these areas are desirable:

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