martial arts jobs at summer camp

are you?

Alert, Quick, Active, Confident

bonus qualifications:

Relevant experience in any martial art will help you lock down this role. Most of the campers will be young and inexperienced - so if you can help them develop the basics, including discipline, form, and strategy, you'll be a lock for this role.

why should I teach martial arts at summer camp?

Whatever your background in martial arts, why not spend this summer sharing your discipline at camp in Canada. You’ll be able to teach different martial arts disciplines, from karate to kickboxing, and judo to jiu jitsu, keeping the campers energised and ready to learn.

Even if you have experience in only one martial art, camp directors are keen to hire activity specialists for this skill. Most of the campers will be completely new to martial arts, so you'll be able to focus on teaching them the basics.

what does a martial arts instructor do at summer camp?

As a martial arts instructor, you will likely be spending around 5 or 6 sessions a day leading the camp’s martial arts program, alongside your fellow instructors. Campers will arrive with various skill levels, giving you the opportunity to adapt coaching plans to create a dynamic and interesting experience for each and every camper.

Most of your time will be spent teaching campers skills ranging from basic to complex, however you’ll also find yourself hosting camp martial arts competitions, as well as tournaments with other camps in the local area. Whatever your discipline, being a martial arts instructor at camp will be the most rewarding experience.

What if I don't have any qualifications?

Short answer - it might not be a problem. For most activities, you won't need any particular qualifications to teach your activity at camp. For others, we may be able to provide training before camp starts - you'll still need a decent amount of experience in your activity, but we'll make sure you're ready before the campers start arriving. The best thing to do is apply for the role you want, and if it doesn't work out, you may be able to lock down a similar role. Whatever you end up doing, you'll still be fully trained for camp!

Do I still get days off?

Of course! Everyone needs time to recharge their batteries after an exciting but hectic week at camp, as well as the opportunity to explore the local area and further afield. Most camps will give you a 24 hour block of free time every week, whilst some others provide 2-4 days off in a row every few weeks.

Do I need to bring equipment?

Some camps will want you to bring equipment for certain activities, but this will likely only be in the form of clothes and personal gear, but they’ll let you know this once you’re hired. Most often, you won’t have to bring any specialist equipment, with Canadian summer camps being equipped with state of the art facilities to develop the campers’ skills, as well as yours.
