Working at summer camp will increase employability & is great to add to a CV.
A job at summer camp in China develops independence, drive and determination. These traits are recognised & heavily valued by employers around the world.
Build your character
Summer camp can be a tough job. Staff learn to develop grit and determination to contribute towards a successful summer.
At camp, your young person will be held accountable for keeping to the busy camp schedule, upholding their role at camp, and maintaining a level of professionalism.
A safe place to work
We hand-pick our partnering camps, ensuring they place a high value on providing a safe environment.
We visit all of our camps each year, maintaining a trusting relationship with the best, most diverse camps across China. If we wouldn't send our own kids there, we wouldn't send yours, either.
Global network
Summer camp staff in China are hired from across the world. This will expose your young person to multiple cultures, allowing them to build a global network.
Most individuals go to summer camp on their own, meaning that they form honest, true friendships as they share a unique experience with like-minded people.
Afford travel
The F1 visa lasts for 90 days. Most staff will travel after camp for the remaining days on their visa.
This is a safe, affordable opportunity to explore China in a way that works for them.
Camp staff will receive pocket money for their time at camp, so your young person can travel China without having to save up too much beforehand.

Key events
Interview
We work with many different camps across China. Camp directors want to make sure all of their staff are the perfect fit for their particular camp - and we want to make sure your young person is in a place where they'll thrive.
Camp directors love meeting potential candidates before camp, so they'll arrange a Skype interview before hiring them.
Job fairs
In January, we bring some of our Chinese camp directors over to the UK who are keen to hire people on the spot. The Adventure China job fairs are a great way to get hired in person, there and then.
Prep days
As part of our award winning support service, we hold mandatory pre-departure preparation sessions to equip our participants with everything they need to know before heading to camp.
Embassy day
To get their Chinese F visa, participants need to attend their nearest embassy. At the prep days we will go through this process step-by-step to make it as simple as possible.
