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!
Im currently completing my last days at a summer camp in Missouri. I have had a positive time. There are obvious negatives to the experience (40 degree heat, barely and time off, and the area camps are situated in is typically the 'middle of nowhere' so it feels very isolating) but anyone who does the appropriate research before signing up should be very aware of these facts. What first timers are typically unaware of is the amount of money Camp America take of your paycheck- particularly in comparison to other agencies (Americamp, BUNAC etc). To put it into numbers, my camp paid me around 4500 dollars this summer (10 weeks work), however after Camp American deductions, this totalled to 1500 (and i booked my own flights). Camp America sorted my insurance (also this is incredibly limited) and placed me with my camp, however I have a very hard time figuring out how this would cost 3000 dollars. Camp America are a for profit agency, and typically capitalise off of young people with little experience or knowledge about working abroad- so little understanding about the extent of money taken from them. Costs prior to arriving in America are also EXTENSIVE. Visa fees around 200, flight costs were around 800, background check 70, additional "agency fees" around 500. Camp America have took around 3600 dollars from me this summer, with very little to show for it. My international camp friends who went with BUNAC or Americamp earnt significantly more than me each paycheck for doing the same role. Camp in America is a very good experience, just go a non-profit agency!x
In the summer of 2015, I worked on a children's summer camp in Massachussetts USA. I was able to have this experience through the Camp America agency. Camp America are extremely efficient in recruiting as many people as possible to work on summer camas across America. The annual recruitment fairs are an excellent example of this. Any questions or worries I had were quickly answered in the run up to my trip from their London office and also whilst I was in the states, from their Stamford office. They provide everything you will need in terms of paperwork and exceptional advice in terms of preparation for the experience. Camp America is the most reliable agency for recruitment on a summer camp and I encourage everyone to sign up.
Excellent help and service from CA on all aspects, from application to actually getting to the US.
