Camp America

Camp America are one of a kind whom I would highly recommend. They are always well organised and willing to help in best way possible. They are always contactable and are very efficient. The application process as a whole is easy to get through, this includes the interview part. All of the interviewers are very helpful and go out of their way to make this process be the best it can. Their website is a great place for information and the forum is very helpful, helping you find out and answers to questions you have and getting you to meeting people from the same camp as you when the all important placement comes around. Even when in the USA they are still there ready to assist you with their USA team in close reach at all times. I cam currently applying for my third summer and would not change it for the world! So if you would like the summer of a life time apply for Camp America... You won't regret it!

After being unsuccessful at 2 recruitment fairs at the start of 2015, I was feeling extremely disheartened and really did not think that I would be placed! I waited and waited then received the ready steady go offer so I was able to get my visa sorted (which is one of the reasons that Camp America are a great company)! I ended up being placed at the end of April! I would definitely say that even if you are unsuccessful at the recruitment fairs, never give up hope because camp has changed my life! I had the best summer, met so many amazing people are changed the lives of so many children. Camp America are great because they offer you so much support in getting you placed and getting you to camp! I would definitely recommend them as an organisation!

After 3 years working at Camp Hayowentha, Camp America have been great! I was placed at the London recruitment fair in 2013, I didn't have many skills, but past child care experience and a persistent attitude got me placed. Visas, flights and insurance was all made easy thanks to the CA staff. Not only was their support team great in the UK, but in America too. In three years, I have had friends who have had family emergencies, needed to move to another camp or just needed help and advice, Camp America has always delivered. If you want the best chance at getting hired and have the security in knowing you're not alone, choose Camp America.

I did Camp America in summer 2015 working at a camp for disadvantaged children. The staff at the Camp America were extremely helpful along the whole application process and whilst I was out in America. It was the best summer of my life, I made so many great friends and it's something I'll never forget!

I loved my summer at camp and I'm so excited at the prospect of returning. Camp America isn't just for self-assured, sporty people - there are camps for people from all different backgrounds and skills, and the experience has given me so much more than just another thing to scrawl on a CV; friends abroad, increased confidence and amazing memories!

Love working with children, have a passion for a skill and the love and ambition to travel. Camp America has given me all those things! I have been a life guard for the past 3 summers in the USA! The friends you meet, the children you teach and the environment you live in are a mixture of wonderful things during your time as a camp counsellor! Now on my 3rd year as a Brand Manager and 2nd year as a interviewer. Camp America has changed my life! 5* :D

I spent summer 2015 working at a Girl Scout camp in Upstate new York. I did this through Camp America who supported me the whole time. I found that if I have any questions, no matter how silly or small, they would always be there to help and always provided lots of support while completing my application and the whole time I was in the USA. Camp America are the only organisation who sponsor the J1 visa and I found this really process really easy and camp America made everything so simple and uncomplicated. This organisation allowed me to go and experience working on a summer camp and then I got the opportunity to travel after. Camp allowed me to gain confidence, independence and learn who I am and I cannot thank camp america enough for allowing me to have the best summer ever and I can't wait to go back for Summer 2016!

I went to a Girl Scouts camp in upstate New York and I wouldn't change it for the world, I had one of the best summers in my life, I got the chance to work with hundreds of young girls and some amazing international and domestic staff! I became archery trained and I now no more arts and crafts than ever and own so much tye dye! During break my time off I got the chance to go see Niagra falls, celebrate 4th of July and go home with a camper who made me feel like family! After camp I decided to travel West coast and go to Vegas, California, Arizona literally I lived the American Dream! Without camp Americas help at recruitment fairs, interviews and Twitter I wouldn't of enjoyed my summer enough!

I can't even begin to explain just how amazing my experience was. From the day I hit 'apply', the journey has been incredible and I can't thank Camp America enough for giving me this opportunity. I learned so many new skills, immersed myself in a totally new culture, developed my independence and have met many wonderful people who I value so much and now call best friends. The people I met along the way (kids at camp, fellow camp counsellors and other travellers) and all my experiences have really touched and inspired me in a way I didn't know I could be. Camp America has instilled in me a sense of worth and belonging, it allowed me to get to know myself in a way I simply couldn't at home. If you want to have an unforgettable summer, make amazing new friends and memories, but also want to learn about yourself and develop your own personal skills and qualities, then Camp America is for you!

The Camp America program is absolutely extraordinary. In one summer spent on an American Summer Camp, I made lifelong friends, I grew exponentially as a person, and I had the best time of my life. Camp America made the entire process exceptionally easy. Their customer service is unparalleled, their support from before application to arrival back in the UK is excellent. This is by far the best agency, and the only one I would ever use!

Camp America - 2 words that will change your life. Doing Camp America was honestly the best thing I could've done. Waiting anxiously at Heathrow airport, I began to question why I was doing this. But it was honestly so worth it. From day 1 of the application process, Camp America were extremely helpful and made the process so simple. This feeling of reassurance continued throughout the application process and even whilst being in America. The summer will be amazing, and camp will make you a more independent person. Trust me when I say you'll be talking about camp for months afterwards. If you're thinking about doing Camp America, do it. It will be the best decision you ever make.
