Has anyone ever worked for Super Camps?

Hi all,

I have recently discovered a company called Super Camps who offer activities for children during school holidays.

My youngest sister is currently attending our local group and is loving it.

I looked them up and found out that you can earn £275 a week as an activity leader.

I have filled out the application form with a hope at starting at Easter but wondered if anyone had any knowledge or experience of the company.

If not, fingers crossed for me. As a school teacher this would fit in perfectly and the extra money would be great!!

I've worked in this industry. I've been a leader, coach and spent a year in sales and marketing for one of Supercamps competitors.

As an activity leader you would be expected to lead the activities for a group of no more than 16 children. I think supercamps is still mainly sports based, so a lot of the activities will be like coaching basketball etc, but I know they do arts, drama etc as well.

What age do you teach? If you have experience with younger children (4-6) it may be worth enquiring about being a leader for that group. The activities are less sports based, more games etc (jungle walks, nature hunts!)

Normally teachers are sounded out for managers job, as due to OFSTED requirements the manager has to have so much experience.

You will earn roughly £210-250 for a weeks work. It is hard work and you have to be the life and soul of the camp. The kids will not turn up to do the actvities, they will turn up to see you!
