Join the educamps team!
We are recruiting 10 residential leaders to become the core of our summer team — people who want to lead by doing, laugh loudly, get muddy, get salty, get tired, get energised, and go home with stories you’ll tell for years.
Spend your summer outdoors, challenge yourself daily, and play a key role in delivering unforgettable adventure camps for 12–17-year-olds from the UK and around the world.
You won’t just lead activities, you’ll live them.
Expect your summer to include:
Bouldering, scrambling, tunnelling challenges and confidence climbs
Trekking through woodland trails and coastal paths
Cooking over fire, building shelters, carving wood and getting smoky
Climbing, abseiling, paddling and biking
Big coastal days at Durdle Door, Bournemouth and the Jurassic Coast
Wide-games, night missions, challenge courses and spontaneous chaos
Campfires, tournaments, late-night laughs and early-morning starts
You’ll also:
Supervise campers in a 24/7 residential environment
Run evening entertainment, night walks, campfires & competitions
Take part in rota’d overnight duty and pastoral care
Support off-site excursions + adventure days
Work outdoors in all weather — sun, rain, mud, breeze — it’s camp life
Be a role model, a motivator, a calm head, and a hype-starter
What you need:
Experience working with children/teens (school, sport, youth work etc.)
Confidence leading groups and speaking to young people
Resilience, energy and a “get stuck in” mentality
Willingness to live on-site for the full camp period (June–August)
Enhanced DBS + First Aid (or willingness to complete)
apply here
Skills that make you even more awesome:
Bushcraft / outdoor leadership / DofE / expeditions
Climbing, paddlesport, MTB, archery or equivalent qualifications
Experience working with international young people
Residential or multi-day adventure programme experience
Show us who you are:
We don't just want to read your CV, we want to meet you.
