Paid 5-10 Week Germany TEFL Internship

Overview

Germany is one of the most up-and-coming teaching destinations, and you'll understand just why when you first arrive.

Recreational learning activities and conversational English classes are rolled into one amazing summer TEFL internship.

Through games, fun excursions, mini field trips, drama, music, and any other creative techniques you devise, you'll be delivering lessons that will be the talking point of many campfire chats.

Bring your adventurous attitude (and your sleeping bag) and capture the essence of outdoor and active life. TEFL in Germany demands a 'thinking outside the box' mentality. And you've got it.

Eight summers in, and still going

Now, after my eighth amazing summer at camp in Germany, I became a part of the Camp Office Crew. But instead of the office in Hamburg, my office will be at our camps in Bavaria where I will be working as a Destination Manager. It's a job that does not feel like a job. Come with an open mind and challenge yourself & your first summer at Camp will be a unique experience you will never forget!
