There are three main summer jobs sectors - Holiday resorts, Camping and caravanning parks and Children's Summer Camps. Within those main sectors there are categories of jobs such as reps, couriers and camp counsellors. These organisations are located all over the world.
Holiday Resort Jobs
Reps in any holiday business are the
main point of contact in resort for paying clients. You will be expected
to troubleshoot problems, deal with difficult requests and usually sell
‘in resort extras’ like excursions and nights out, which you will
normally have to organise and run as well. Day to day duties may include
running airport transfers on change over days (can be a very very long
day), and will include ensuring generally that clients and staff have
everything they need. There are lots of different kinds of repping jobs
and the work generally varies with the clientel. This means that there
is a type of position for just about anyone, from Club Rep jobs through
to working with operators who offer specialist holidays for retired
customers.
Campsite and Holiday Park Jobs

area with many different companies. Some of the largest employers are Eurocamp,
Venue, and Kelair but there

summer to look after their clients on self drive holidays to Europe.

clubs, cleaning and even providing specialist activities such as
fishing and outdoor educational programmes. The main categories to have a look at are campsite courier jobs, maintenance jobs, and
Summer Camp Jobs
Every year around 10,000 people travel
accross the Atlantic to work on an American Kids Camp and even more stay
here to fill vacancies in the UK International Summer School Industry. Jobs range from
activity leaders and camp counselors (nothing to do with psychology) to
support staff like handymen and kitchen workers. At the end of the
season they usually work it so that you have enough time on your visa
and enough money in your pocket to travel.
