Work at Camp Suisse

Camp Suisse is on the search for ambitious, highly motivated individuals to join the team.

We have a wide range of roles available: from activity leaders, language teachers and pastoral care leaders, to our support roles such as catering and administration. To join Camp Suisse is to join a summer camp which places teamwork, mutual respect and enthusiasm at the centre of everything it does, creating a unique family atmosphere among the team.

Camp Suisse colleagues come from a diverse range of countries and backgrounds; however, they all share a strong common interest in helping the development of young people, as well as a love of the outdoors.

The work is demanding, yet highly rewarding with the opportunity to meet people from around the world, and to live and work in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. If Camp Suisse sounds like your idea of a dream summer, we would love to hear from you.

Michael, Senior Manager

Working with Camp Suisse goes hand in hand with embracing different cultures and languages all in one place. No one day is the same and there is great variety in the daily tasks that I undertake while at Camp Suisse, making sure I’m never bored! Seeing kids flourish during their time here at camp is very rewarding and encourages you to keep going. Personally, finding out new information about different cultures and countries from my colleagues and other campers adds an extremely interesting aspect to the job. Finally, you will meet people here who you will always remember and the connections you make with other staff members will last a lifetime!

Besma, Activity Leader & Head of French

Working at Camp Suisse is a chance for me to engage in meaningful work and start each day with a strong sense of purpose. It is both a privilege and a joy to support children in their growth while being part of a genuinely international community where I feel truly accepted and valued.
