1.  Can I apply if I don’t live in the USA or UK? 
All native speakers of English are eligible to apply, regardless of where you are living.

2.  What are the costs? What do I have to pay for?
All accepted tutors are required to pay for their travel to Italy before the summer commences, and their travel costs from their final camp. The tutors must provide health insurance to work with us (tutors are not covered under our insurance program).

The English Camp Company pays for all accommodation and food expenses during the camps and travel expenses between camps. If you wish to travel at the weekend and it has been confirmed by the camp director and the family you are staying with, then any food or accommodation is at your own expense.

3.  Do I need to have health insurance?
You must have health insurance that is valid in Europe to work with us; tutors are not covered under our insurance program.

4.  What are the dates for camp?
Camps run from June through to August. Camps begin the Monday immediately following the orientation week.

5. When is Orientation?

The orientation camp will take place in Assisi beginning on 9^th June, 2012. It is obligatory for all tutors to attend the orientation week.

5. Where are the camps located?
The camps are located in small towns throughout Italy and Austria. Most of the camps are located in Italy.

6.  Are the camps day camps or overnight camps?
Most of our camps are day camps, however the times can vary slightly from camp to camp. 

7.  How long can I work for? Is it flexible? 
Tutors can specify on the application form, how long they are available to work for. We would like it if tutors are available to work for the whole summer. 

8.  Would I get to travel to both countries?
It depends on how many weeks you plan to work for; our Austrian camps tend to take place in August.

9.  Can we travel at the weekend?
You can travel at the weekend if it has been confirmed with the camp director and by your host family, and if you are not required to travel to the next camp. However, many families are so excited to have a tutor staying with them, that they want you to meet the rest of the family, or they arrange a big family meal or want to take you to places at the weekend. The families are extremely hospitable and love to show you off to their neighbours and friends!

10.  Will I stay with a new host family every camp?
Yes. The camps are in different towns throughout Italy.

11. How are host families selected?
Host families have a child attending the camp and they have offered to host a tutor in their house. The camp director is responsible for organising the host families for the tutors.

12. What age are the tutors?
The tutors tend to be university students, however if you are outside this category we will still happily look at your application.

13. When will I know if I have been accepted?
We will let you know if you have been accepted in April. The closing deadline is 31st March, 2012 and unfortunately we cannot accept any applications that arrive after this date. We will let you know shortly after this date if your application has been successful or not.

14. Is there a charge for the application?
There is no charge to apply for our program. However please ensure when sending your application, that all delivery costs have been paid for.
