What's a typical day like?
- Mornings are spent teaching English grammar, vocabulary, and functions through activities, games, and songs. During the rest of the day, the programme is more flexible and includes games, sports, drama, arts and crafts, etc. in English. At the end of each camp, the children perform a small part in a final show for the parents. You will have time with your group during the week to rehearse and make props for a small skit/sketch.
- City Camps require you to be at school from Monday to Friday, and sometimes Saturday. A typical day at City Camp starts before the campers arrive and ends after any necessary meeting with the camp director and your fellow tutors. While camp runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., tutors are on duty from 8:30 a.m. until around 5:30 p.m. (if there is a meeting after camp). After that you can relax, recuperate, and plan for the next day. You will usually have the weekend to explore your area or towns and cities nearby, though if you are transferring from one camp to another, you will travel on the Saturday.
- Summer Camps require you to be ‘on duty’ 24/7. Parents leave their children in your care, so you must be responsible and attentive at all times. These camps are usually located near beaches or mountains, so you may be able to hike, swim or go on excursions with the children. Evenings are spent with fun activities such as discos, games, campfires and competitions. Summer Camps are a great way to really get to know Italian children and work in scenic locations. We usually have around eight Summer Camps a year.
