Make
your dream come true! Tired of the same old boring job
during the summer? Looking for a program to challenge
you and lift you out of your comfort zone? The CCUSA Camp
Counselor Russia program may be just what you need.
For
fifteen years, we have offered this adventurous, challenging
program to those who want to work as a counselor in a
Russian summer youth camp for four to eight weeks from
June through August.
Summer
Camp - A Great Russian Tradition Every summer thousands
of children head off for camps across Russia, from the
shores of Lake Baikal to the beaches of the Black Sea.
Each camp has its own philosophy, but all provide children
a place to relax while having fun in an outdoor setting.
In
many ways, these camps resemble those in the United States
and Canada. They are usually located in rural settings,
miles away from the nearest town. Typically, a camp will
have a large dining hall, crafts and sports buildings
and dormitories. Children usually come for sessions lasting
10 to 28 days. Many camp activities take place in the
beautiful Russian countryside, often by a lake or river,
which provides a glorious setting for swimming, boating
and canoeing.
Other
activities may include theater, land sports, arts, crafts,
dance, performing arts and teaching. As an English/Culture
instructor, you will be teaching English language classes
every day to different classes. In these classes, you
will be expected to incorporate cultural lessons about
your own culture. Details: Flight + Full board Accommodation
