Overview

Escape to the hallowed shores of the UK for a summer you will never forget. Immerse yourself in that famed British culture as you join a fantastic team at one of the invigorating outdoor centres located all around the UK. Here, kids of all ages will flock to spend their summer learning new outdoor skills, conquering fears, making friends and having the time of their lives. 

Choose from a wide range of locations throughout the UK, from the stunning South Coast, where golden beaches and summer sun rule, to the highlands of Scotland, situated in the heart of the most incredible scenery you will ever encounter. Each of these camps need enthusiastic, committed activity instructors to help these kids have the summer of their lives, and why not have one yourself while you are at it! 

You will be living and working in an incredible part of the UK, immersing yourself in the culture and the daily lives of the people there. After your shift is over, there is a sense of camaraderie at these camps that breeds good times and with your new-found group of friends, you will enjoy this experience to the max. Plus you'll be earning a wage to be able to fund your travel. There is the whole of the UK to explore, with the summer cash you have saved from your employment. There are the big cities, London, Manchester, Edinburgh, but there are some of the most beautiful wild spaces in the world, the quaint Cotswolds, the rugged valleys of Wales and the genuinely stunning highlands and islands of Scotland. And, this is not to mention the whole of Europe, which is just a short ferry or plane journey away!

We offer the complete summer camp activity instructor package, finding you your ideal position in your dream location. Our dedicated team will help you with all the essentials you need to feel that summer loving from visa application, airport transfer & accommodation, extra accommodation nights to use when you please, 24/7 worldwide support and so much more.

Details

Our Summer Camp in the UK is designed to give you the perfect summer experience. Located in your preferred area in the UK, it will give you a taste of what it is like to live like a local. There are a whole host of different skills needed to be a camp instructor or Group Leader at these camps and as well as being able to focus on the ones you are best at, you will learn a ton of new skills too. Great for the C.V and of course, great for your self-confidence.

Travelling with Global Work & Travel means that you don’t have to think any further than where you would like to go and what you fancy doing while you are there. Our expert team will take care of the heavy lifting, getting you secured with a paid placement that aligns with your desires, your visa application and unparalleled guidance and support, answering any queries you have about your placement with our trademark depth and understanding. 

When you touch down in the UK, you will have the confidence that you are one step ahead, that all you need to do is rock up to the rail station closest to your chosen location and your new summer family will be there to pick you up and welcome you in. We have spent years nurturing bonds with the best in-country partners, so you can be assured that you are in great hands and will not only learn a ton but will likely have the best summer of your life. 

When you work in a summer camp in the UK you become more than just a tourist. With a great bunch of fellow travellers and local workers, you will form bonds for life, often exploring the local bars after an amazing day of making kids’ dreams come true. Then comes the icing on the cake, time to explore the UK and Europe with a little cash in your pocket, saved from your weeks of work. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live and work in the UK, a summer that you will truly never forget.

Itinerary Teaser

Day 1

You will be given instructions on how to get to the nearest train/bus station to your camp and when you arrive there, one of the camp team will come and pick you up. After a warm welcome and time to settle in, you will be given a tour of the camp and meet your fellow summer workers. The camps all vary in location, some remote and peaceful, others close to larger towns and cities, but this first day is all about breaking you in and getting you to feel comfortable in your new environment.

Week 1

Your first couple of days at the camp will be all about training. If you have opted for an Activity Instructor role, you will be taken out and shown the various equipment you will use. Safety is an obvious priority, so you will be taught the ins and outs of each piece of equipment and the expectations the camp will have of you. As you progress, you will move into a live environment, before you are allowed to take over the role by yourself.   A couple of days a week you’ll get time off. You can use this time to recharge your batteries around camp, or take a journey into the city!

Week 2 +

During your time here, you will be leading activities, organising entertainment, and ensuring your group has a great stay at the camp. Being an Activity Instructor is a fantastic chance to share your love of sports and the outdoors, to discover new interests, to make new friends, to learn new skills, and to enjoy a lifestyle and an experience that will enrich your life forever. You might be helping kids overcome their fears in the morning, guiding them to solve initiative puzzles in the afternoon, and then singing around the campfire in the evening. While it is a lot of fun, it’s also challenging, it’s a position of responsibility, it’s sometimes tiring, and it can be hectic.

Ongoing

Our dedicated team will check in regularly and keep in touch with you throughout your stay but, if at any point during your trip you need travel advice or assistance, we’ll be here to answer all your questions. Don’t forget you can always jump on our social media pages too or buzz our 24/7 emergency support line for urgent matters.

This the default question

it should be visible inside every trip page

Why should I book now?

After the last unexpected disruption to travel caused by the..c word..people are now more eager than ever to venture out and explore the world, determined not to miss out on any experiences. Global Work & Travel works on a first-in-best-dressed basis. Booking earlier ensures that you don’t miss out on the best intake, season, placements and more! We recommend our travellers take 6-12+ months to plan their trip for a reason - to make sure you’ve got everything organised perfectly, stress-free. As a Global Traveller you’ll get exclusive access to gWorld, our personalised app where you can keep all of your important documents and trip details in one spot and gain insider access to everything Global. This is where you will find exclusive Marketplace Deals, a unique social network to connect you with other like-minded Global Travellers, access to our Academy with an ever-growing range of skills & languages, and so much more. Think all of your favourite apps merged into one, but like, better? Why not give yourself something to look forward to by booking that trip!

Can I travel with a friend or partner?

Yes you can! Simply tell your Trip Coordinator after booking that your friend is also going and they can link your profiles. For most of our trips we should be able to have you and your friends placed together or nearby. Meaning that you can live, work, play & travel together! But wait there's more! Not only can you travel the world with your besties at your side, you can also earn some extra cash towards your own trip just by referring your friends to Global Work & Travel. You can learn more about the great referral rewards program inside your gWorld account once you join. And for those who decide to go-it-solo, we’ve made it easier to meet other Global Travellers in the same region as you. Just like any other social platform, you’ll be able to interact, share, chat and meet with some really cool people who are doing trips just like you!

Can I bring my pet along?

At Global Work & Travel, we share a deep love for animals and fully understand the special bond you have with your pet. We recognise the challenges of embarking on a trip without them. Due to travel restrictions, requirements, and limited pet-friendly accommodations among our host organisations, we regretfully cannot facilitate their inclusion in the journey. However, many of our customers choose to entrust their pets to a family member or friend, embark on their adventure, and return home to wagging tails and furry cuddles.

What happens if I need to cancel my trip?

We know that life can get in the way of travel, so all our trips come with a great deal of flexibility. In most cases, if you cannot travel on your selected date, you can place your trip on hold to deal with whatever is holding you back, and continue in the future without incurring any penalty. You may also have the option of transferring to an entirely different trip and destination as well, or even transferring your trip to a friend or family member. In the event that you need to outright cancel your trip, if you give us 84* days notice you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee. Your refund of the balance will come in the form of a Store Credit which you can put toward any other trip that we offer, including tours through third-party providers, as well as holidays through DealsAway.com, and is valid for 2 years from date of issue. As international travel can be complex, your options are based on the progress of your trip organisation and our support team can assist you in finding the best solution for your needs.
