About Camp America
Since 1969 we’ve worked with more camps, placed more participants, and provided more recruitment opportunities than any other J-1 summer camp organisation. But as a team who have all lived the summer camp experience, we still believe in a personal touch. You can expect to chat with us at job fairs, embassy days or any time you need information or support on your application. Camp can bring out the best in people – let us help your personality shine through!
This could be you!
24/7 Support
All the work we do behind the scenes is designed to make sure you have an unforgettable summer (and hopefully come back for more!) We help make sure your Camp America program and J-1 visa applications are in great shape and all your admin is up to scratch before placement, and once you’ve landed you can rest easy knowing the US team are on hand 24/7 in case you need them. Incidents are very rare! But if something goes wrong, you know we’ve got your back.
This could be you!
The first time I attended camp I was a General Camp Counsellor and this year I was the Arts & Crafts Specialist! Going to camp was a bit of a culture shock, but it unlocked a new passion to teach and work with kids!
Experience an unforgettable summer.
Camp America is an amazing opportunity to experience work and travel in the USA over just 9-12 weeks. Enhance your leadership skills, grow your confidence, and enjoy once-in-a-lifetime experiences in whichever camp you call home. Where will the summer take you?
