FAQs

How can I apply for sailing and powerboat jobs at summer camp?

When starting your application you’ll be asked to select your top skills. Choose 'Sailing' and/or 'Powerboat'. Go into detail about what you’re going to bring to the role, your skill level and if you’re already qualified. A camp director will then be able to assess if you’re a good fit and invite you to their camp.

How can I make my application stronger without any qualifications?

The best way to make your application stronger is to have the qualifications to back it up. Sailing/powerboat jobs in America are a fantastic way to spend the summer but also very competitive. If you are serious about coaching football in the USA then take a look at courses which may give you confidence and show your skill level.

How many children will I be coaching in one session?

This depends on the role you take. With sailing, it's often 1 to 1 in terms of leaders to campers, maybe slightly more depending on the craft you're in. Powerboats can normally accommodate 5 or 6 children, their counsellor, and if there's watersports involved, then likely another specialist as a 'spotter'.
