English City is seeking Native English speakers to volunteer at our kids camps on the Black Sea. Our mission is to provide the best summer camps possible to the children which include theater and English all wrapped into one.

We need native speakers who are willing to work with children in a relaxed camp environment. The classes that you will hold are conversation classes that revolve on speaking activities and verbal interaction with the children. English teaching experience is a plus, but by no means a requirement.

The camp is located on the shores of the Black Sea near Dzhankhot, Russia. While at camp everything is provided including 5 meals a day and lodging. The beach is watched during swimming hours by lifeguards. In addition to the regular day's activities, you will be included in any activity you wish to go along with the children on including excursions.

We provide the following to all volunteers:
Homestay with meals in historic St. Petersburg, Russia before and after the camp session.
Tours of St. Petersburg while here.
Invitation to russia which is used to apply for a visa.
Registration while in Russia.
Train transportation between St. Petersburg and camp.

Volunteers are responsible for the following:
Transportation to and from Russia (we can give you good advice on inexpensive ways to get here)
Visa fees for the Russian visa.
A smile and a good sense of humor.

We have 4 camp sessions, and you may volunteer for as many as you like:

May 24th to June 20th
June 17th to July 14th
July 11th to August 7th
August 4th to August 31st

What kind of organisation are you, do you seek profit?? Or are you a charity???

I'm also concerned what kind of danger you might be putting your children into. Are these teachers going to be CRB checked??? What I mean is a criminal check to ensure that these potential volunteers do not have a criminal record of violations against children. If from Britain, there is a wayy to check, I dn't know about USA.
Are they going be given any form of income. Are you a legally registered charity to seek teachers on a voluntary basis??

Theremore specialist sites who have asked for such contacts, but to be honest with you I can't recommend you without more info.
