American Village Camps In France

American Village camps were created for French youth in 1994. Our English-immersion camps create a positive environment where it is fun, natural & necessary to use English. The majority of our camps are American-themed. We have some British-themed camps as well. We hire North American, British, and French counselors for 4, 6 or 8 weeks between the months of February & October at a variety of camp locations across France. Our villages are scattered across France, in rural countryside areas, from Normandy to the Côte d’Azur. Counselors work in small teams of anywhere from 6 to 15 adults. There is always one village director who manages the team, lives on site, and is bilingual French/English. Counselors live at camp, in shared housing with other counselors. The composition of the counselor team depends on the season; in the spring there are only anglophone counselors. In the summer 1/3 of the team is French, the rest are anglophones. The work environment is collaborative, creative, organised, and multi-cultural! It is important that all applicants take into consideration : - That teamwork skills are of utmost importance for this job - The absolute necessity of having communication skills when working in a multi-cultural work environment. - That we promote cultural understanding, positivity and collaboration, not American dominance. - The rigorous residential camp schedule, where we are responsible for campers all day long! - Helping children learn and grow is a rewarding employment experience and also, a lot of fun! American Village Camps are owned and managed by Nacel France, and belong to the Go&Live corporate group. The Go&Live group promotes learning in France through active participation, cultural exchange and linguistic immersion. You can learn more about our teams on our recruitment American Village website!
