We work with an incredible array of hand-selected camps in stunning locations all across China. From major cities like Beijing and Shanghai, to the banks of Thousand Island Lake, our camps are selectively chosen by our Adventure China experts - and you'll likely see us there, as we spend our summers working at or visiting our camps!

Camps want to hire bold individuals who are willing to take on the challenge. Work abroad alongside locals & like-minded international staff with the ultimate student travel experience. Help shape the future of summer camps through volunteer work in China. From teaching English in China to waterfront roles, outdoor education to football coaching in China, as a camp counselor you'll be teaching a range of different camp activities.
