American Paradise Camp (APC) is the first English language international summer camp for children in Vietnam. Campers aged 8-16 spend one or two weeks at APC’s beachfront property, learning a variety of different activities such as kayaking, arts and crafts, music, football, rock climbing, digital photography, and surfing. APC counselors (teachers) from around the world help create a fun and safe environment for campers during their time at camp. If you have experience working with children, love the outdoors, and want a chance to live and travel in Southeast Asia, being an APC counselor might be the right job for you.
