We've spent the last 38 years in the business of sending young people over the big pond for a summer of fun, sun, kids and camp - so trust us we know a thing or two about this - we've been doing it a long time! We pride ourselves on staying ahead of the pack - our most recent iniatives include a brand spanking new on-line application system which allows over 900 camps access to your application 24/7 and we introduced a ground-breaking system of basing the after camp payment you get on the skills and experience you have.

The Camp America programme is designed to give you the best of both worlds - work and play. Following your camp/resort placement you'll have up to 2 months to explore the USA and enjoy all the fun, excitement and adventure there is to discover there.

You do not need to be an Olympic athlete of even a certified teacher we just ask that you have a solid knowledge of your skill, have some experience working with groups of children and be confident enough to teach or assist in teaching. Whilst offering a wide variety of roles we also reward applicants for their experience and qualifications.

Camp America is the only camp counsellor organisation that pays participants according to their skills and offers you the opportunity to further your skills even before you head to camp. By applying to our programme you will have the opportunity to travel, live and work in a completely different environment, make new friends, develop your skills and most importantly, have a fun summer!

The experience makes for a strong CV builder and, incorporated with the opportunity to explore another continent and the 24-hour support from our experienced team, we believe you'll have the summer of a lifetime!
