What will I be doing on camp? Our award‑winning holiday clubs are brilliant places to work. You will be assigned a group of children to work with each day and provided with an activity timetable by your camp manager. Your role is to deliver amazing experiences for children aged 5‑13 across a range of multi‑sports, arts & crafts and outdoor adventurous games. As a coach, your role is to be like a big kid! We want our coaches to get involved as much as possible during the day, which means taking part in dodgeball games, helping children build amazing dens, working together to solve team challenges and jumping into swimming pools.
