Camp
Counsellors
If you think you can be a cross
between a teacher and a big brother or sister, you may
be interested in spending the summer in America as a Camp
Counsellor. Work is in one of the 12,000 children's summer
camps scattered across the USA and isn't restricted to
students.
River
Guide Jill Baxter remembers the days when people would
say ³you are a bright girl, don't you think you should
have a real job? But they say "Boy,
It must be great to get paid for what you do" once they learn a typical day may involve waking up in
some spectacular place and checking out young golden eagles
in their nest.
Work
on a Kibbutz or Moshav
A kibbutz offers the basics for
living and working abroad - a bed, food and fags - in
exchange for work in its fields, factories and tourist
facilities. An alternative option is to stay on a moshav,
which pays a pocket money wage but is less communal.
Kibbutz
Life
It was an 'experiment that worked'
was how philosopher Martin Bauber put the kibbutz movement.
Matt Scott describes his time on the experiment that worked
so well it's still going strong. |
