Good experience working here
by: Tim Nolan - IrelandProgram: Volunteer as a Summer Camp Counselor in EuropeI have experience, activities and friends for life from this experience so it is something I appreciate. I had a lot of ups and downs along the way working here but overall I look at this experience in a positive light. A peaceful escape from nature and I was able to push myself out of my comfort zone along the way!
A big experience!
by: John Trusted - United KingdomProgram: Volunteer as a Summer Camp Counselor in EuropeI did the outdoor education diploma (diplo) in 2023. I’ll never forget or regret it. Seems cheesy but it’s very hard to sum up in a few lines. The camps are mostly well run and organised, although living conditions are always going to be a bit basic. On a good week you have a great laugh with the kids, on a bad week you have a great moan with the other teamers. For all the complaining I sometimes did at the time, I got a lot out of it and would recommend it to anyone who likes outdoorsy fun and ...

What inspired you to travel abroad?
Create an international network of summer camps throughout Europe that enables university students to gain international work experience. I believe in Outdoor Education as a way to promote universal values, the appreciation of other cultures and nature. I also believe in creativity as an effective method to promote affordable programs for university students and campers alike, to travel and learn. I believe in fraternity among cultures as a milestone for building mutual tolerance and respect. I believe in making efforts to build an international community willing to share every individual’s knowledge and experience. I value diversity as a full expression of tolerance of everyone and exclusion of no one. I also value imagination and fantasy as an effective doctrine of education on abstract but also quite important matters. To create ways of promoting fair opportunities for international camping, summer internship placements and work and travel experiences. To implement high standards of the North American Camping traditions exported to Europe. I value people’s time investment without a straightforward aim on profit, the help that comes honestly offered. In return, I believe in giving back accessible opportunities to students, low profile campers, and the host communities.
