CRUISE REPRESENTATIVE

ACTIVITY CAMPS

CAMP AMERICA

Why not think outside the box and set your sights further afield. You don’t have to spend a summer in Zante when America, Australia and New Zealand are awaiting your arrival.

Each year over 7,500 young people sign up to the American summer camp, offering Britain’s the opportunities to live and work across the pond supporting young children on summer camps. Many camps are located in rural areas, away from the hustle and bustle of towns and cities, offering stunning scenery and outdoor adventures.

It’s your job to encourage the children whilst getting stuck in yourself. A ‘have-a-go’ attitude is essential. One minute your find yourself practising your tennis skills and the next your be trying your hand at pottery. Every day is a new adventure.

The Camp America programme is designed to offer the best of both worlds. Following your work placement you’ll have the opportunity to explore America for two months, unearthing the hidden gems of America as well as visiting major cities and landmarks. Camp America offers something new and refreshing. Rewarding you for your hard work and effort on camp and providing memories which will last a lifetimes. Visit www.campamerica.co.uk to request a brochure.

Surprisingly it’s not all about the bustling nightlife of Zakynthos or the Brit filled beaches of Ibiza. When it comes to holiday repping, there is so much more available. so why not widen your opportunities and try something new. You may be pleasantly surprised by whats out there.

You need to realise that there are no limits. Every package holiday from a trip the Maldives to an adventure tour of South Africa, requires a company representative. These indiduals cater for thier customers needs, offering support and guidance with a smile on thier face. Who needs Spain when there is so many amazing opportunites waiting to be discovered.

So, with that in mind, heres a helpful guide to alternative job ideas which dont involve staying up till the early hours sinking vodka shots. However if that’s your style, then it can probably be arranged.

Why not take to the sea and work aboard a cruise ship. Cruise representatives are an integral part of the industry and are responsible for making sure travellers get the most out of their trip. Today modern cruise ships offer something for everyone with swimming pools, casinos, fitness centres and golf courses, providing plenty of fun and activities when you’re not working. And not forgetting some of the fabulous countries you have the opportunity to visit. It’ s like travelling the world and getting paid. Brilliant!
