Job Description

WORLD CAMP
 
Join a dynamic and multicultural team this summer at World Camp!

Children from over 100 local and international schools meet to form new friendships and learn from each other and from our team of talented teachers.
 
We offer language immersion day camps in French, but also in Arabic, Italian, German, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, and Tagalog thanks to partnerships with great local schools and organizations recognized for their expertise. These partnerships bring energy to our camps, help create new friendships and make World Camp a truly international experience.
