The Reception is the administrational center of the event, and also the place where most questions from students will be asked and hopefully answered: over the phone, over the internet or face to face. Among many useful skills are service-mindedness, patience, multilingualism and the ability to work under stress (reception gets long lines!) and stay alert for long hours way into the night.

The Tech Crew is managing many technical aspects of the camp, primarily sound and light. This unit works all around the clock and missions include carrying and installing different basic sound and light equipment all over the different camp areas.

The activity department dreams up exciting things for campers to participate in, and make them happen. They are often operating at short notice and sometimes at odd hours. The position demands an organized person with flawless communication skills operating on a shoestring budget. If you are able to make a reservation for horse riding with one hand while serving Swedish fika (coffee) with the other, Activities may be for you.

Applicants must have a valid driver’s license and preferably the experience of driving both automatic and manual transmission cars. The position includes all kinds of transportation and pick-up services around the camp and in nearby towns and cities. On-call schedules for airport pick-ups can be at any time, both day and night. Social skills are an asset as well as some basics around car maintenance.

This department is full of super handy people with creative solutions in their minds at all times. As the main focal point for most practical maintenance and construction projects, this department needs strong hands that can fix almost anything and then carry it around.

The Bike Rental service holds some 400 bicycles and offers the possibility for students to rent bicycles. The work up front is very much about seeing customers, and behind it’s all about general bicycle maintenance. Skills in bicycle mechanics and customer service are needed to be on this small daytime team.

The shop deals with all aspects of merchandise and all aspects of communication with sellers and buyers. Experience in retail business is helpful, but attention to detail is a must. Fashion sense is also a plus.

As we are a fair distance from a hospital, we have medical personnel at camp to provide support and advice in case of a medical emergency. The position demands that you have some professional experience (nurse, doctor, et cetera) around healthcare and first aid. Ideally, we would like to combine the First Aid position with traditional work in the Reception.

The Safety and Security unit in Herräng is not only about security. It’s also very much about being the camp’s prolonged eyes, ears and voice. Anything from personal safety, fire alarms, cleaning up a messy area to addressing the shortcomings of other departments may fall under the area of responsibility. It’s an asset to possess good social skills in order to deal with different sorts of safety issues in a kind but firm way.

The business of the laundry is very much about washing, drying and taking general care of dirty clothes and bedding. The service is primarily for students, but it’s also open for our internal needs. The positions in the laundry also include some cleaning work in the area, and demands a general service-minded attitude.

Herräng offers a handful of different alternatives for general accommodation, and the work around it includes helping out primarily during check-ins and at other busy times. Administration can very well be a piece of the job, but expect all kinds of missions around the service in general.

The department will be responsible for all aspects of private accommodation in the village such as general administration, key control, payments and all kinds of contacts with locals renting out to dance students vice versa. To be able to speak Swedish is a must for private accommodation.

For some, weekends are the optimal time to work and dance at Herräng. With this option, you will only have work during the weekends, when the camp needs extra support. This kind of job includes food and drink service, camper check-in (long lines!) and driving. Special preference is given to those who can work several camp weekends. When working as a Weekend Warrior, you have the same benefits as other staff, but only for the days you are on duty.
