🇨🇿 ESC Volunteering in Czechia 🎨 Summer Camps, Kids & Creative Youth Work in Brno 🏕️

Art camps, sports camps, theatre camps — and children aged from preschool all the way to 18, coming in every day for a full programme while sleeping at home. This ESC placement in Czechia is a summer packed with energy, creativity, and real hands-on work with young people across a wide range of ages and interests.

Lužánky — Středisko Volného Času Brno is a well-established leisure and youth centre in Czechia, looking for an ESC volunteer to join their team during the summer camp season. You will be part of a wider community of 8 other ESC volunteers working at different placements within the organisation throughout the year — which means you will not be navigating this alone.

What Is This Role About?

This is a city camp setup — children and young people come for the day programme and go home in the evenings. The camps run across different themes and age groups, and the volunteer plays an active role in delivering the programme. One week is more intensive (typically 8am to 5pm), the next more relaxed — a rhythm that keeps the work sustainable across the summer.

Activities

🎨 Assisting at themed summer camps — art, sport, theatre, and more

👧 Working with children and young people from preschool age up to 18 years

🎭 Contributing your own skills and interests to the camp programme

🤝 Being part of a team delivering daily activities for different age groups

Who Should Apply?

The application for this placement is different from most — Lužánky asks you to answer 3 specific questions as part of your application. Think them through carefully before applying.

🔹 Communicative level of English is required

🔹 Must not require a visa to work in Czechia — only visa-free applicants can be accepted

🔹 Genuine motivation to work with children and young people

🔹 A clear sense of what you want to gain from the ESC experience

🔹 A skill or area of expertise you want to share with others — and a preference for which type of camp you want to join

Before applying, prepare your answers to these questions — they are required as part of the application:
