Workplace Description

The City of Stockholm organizes summer camps for children, youth, and young adults with disabilities.

Our summer camps are located in beautiful natural environments on Väddö and in Sörmland. Being at camp means a change of environment, fun outdoor activities, and social interaction with others for our participants. For relatives, it provides 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 giving our participants a wonderful and memorable vacation filled with joy and relaxation.

We are now looking for staff for our camp during the summer of 2026 between June 11 - August 17. We see that you, as an applicant, can work at least 2 of the periods:

• Period 1: June 11 - June 26

• Period 3: July 15 - July 30 or July 15 - July 26
• Period 4: August 1 - August 17 or July 28 - August 9

We are looking for you who enjoy working together with others and want to help create a meaningful stay for our participants.
