Assessment Information

During the assessment, there will be two activities - both of which require some preparation.

Activity 1: Team Building Activities:

You will need 2-3 teambuilding / get-to-know-you games ready to facilitate with fellow applicants. The activities should suit team building / get to know you games for a group of children ages 7 - 16.

Activity 2:

Each counsellor is responsible for teaching an elective activity, and in your staff application, you’ll have the opportunity to tell us about your experience related to our elective options.

For the assessment, please choose the elective you would most like to teach.

You’ll need to prepare a 5-minute activity to run for the group, based on your chosen elective. This could be:

• A main activity from the elective curriculum

• A warm-up or introduction to the elective

• A cool-down game

• A short debrief or reflection activity

Feel free to be as creative as you like — we’re looking to see your enthusiasm, initiative, and ability to engage a group.

Please note that no props or equipment will be provided for the assessment, so plan your activity accordingly.

Video Interview: If you successfully pass the staff assessment, you will be invited for a video Interview (approximately 30 mins - 1 hour)

Returning Staff Applications:

Step 1: Please fill out our Online Written Application 

Step 2: Zoom Interview (this will be approximately 40 mins - 1 hour)

International Applicants

We are only able to hire staff who currently have the legal right to work in the UK (i.e. you have a British passport or a UK work visa) or are from a Commonwealth Country and willing to apply for a UK work visa. Unfortunately, due to Brexit rules, currently, applicants from the EU are not able to obtain a working visa to work at Camp for the summer.

If you are eligible to work in the UK and live abroad, and if you have a strong application, we may offer you video interviews as an alternative to attending our in-person assessments.
