“I feel like campleaders just only cares about the money...”

9/13/14

I feel like campleaders just only cares about the money during the application process. They only contact you if they want payment or they want you to make a video for the company. I assume the video which is to be uploaded on YouTube is for promotional reasons. They also take a % of your wages from working at the camp and make money from you. However the company does have an easy application process and support.

Thank you

Camp L. – CampLeaders Rep Over a year old

Firstly we would like to make clear that we are incredibly passionate about our participants and sending them to summer camp. Our company was built on a passion for camp back in 1999 and to this day every member of our company has been, or still goes, to camp. We feel that to say that we only care about money is an unfair assessment of our intentions.

In regards to the videos, we don't ask for you to make a video for the company, but to make a video for your application for camp jobs - the vast majority of camp directors want to see a video of the participants before hiring them, so by not completing a video, your chances of getting a job decrease - that's why we ask you to make a video.

As far as money from your wages, we set up the costs of going to summer camp in a way that's achievable to the majority of people. We pay the upfront costs for the majority of your placement, with some input from you (which covers things like admin, customer service, visa forms etc.) then you work off the rest of the cost while at camp (which covers flights, insurance, placement costs etc.) This is all made clear in our literature and within your program agreement.

We’re glad to hear that you are positive about the application process and support - we work very hard to be the best we can be and provide a strong service and we appreciate your comments.

If you have anything else to add, we are more than happy to discuss with you, we are more than happy to discuss it with you, whether on here, through email (gurus@campleaders.com) or you could even call us on 0151 708 6868.

Thanks for your feedback,
James - Camp Leaders
