Check out our video and decide for yourself!

Orientation.

Orientation is divided into two parts:

1) Theory: online videos

2) Practical: orientation in Italy OR Austria (location TBC)

 

All accepted volunteers must do both the theory & practical orientations. You will learn everything you need to know to go to camp, including sample games, songs, activities.

 

It is good to come with plenty of ideas of your own, and activities, arts and crafts and games that you could teach during the afternoon. 

​

Orientation gives us the chance to get to know you and vice versa, and for us to place you at camps that we think you would be well suited to. 

​

Where: Assisi, Italy OR Austria

What does the ECC expect from an ECC CAMP COUNSELOR or CAMP DIRECTOR?

 

​English camp is challenging, but the rewards are infinite. Volunteering as an ECC camp counselor will require you to:
 

  • Represent your country and The E.C.C.

  • Be a role model to campers and colleagues

  • Provide an enjoyable and safe environment for ​the 

       campers

  • Be active and keep a positive attitude at all times

  • Be outgoing and eager to share your skills and culture with others

​

Being a camp counselor is intense and requires physical stamina and emotional maturity. Being around kids for long periods of time can be challenging and not for everyone.
