"The majority of my memories are of my fellow counsellors and friends at camp; of the pranks we pulled, of going to Walmart in our camp clothes covered with dirt from the campfire and not caring one bit, of the three tornadoes we sat through and the friendship bracelets we carried on making long after the kids had gone. That’s the thing about camp, everyone’s in the same boat, and there's a great sense of togetherness" - Laura Jones. Have the perfect summer... We pride ourselves on giving you the perfect placement, as you choose exactly what style of camp you would like to work at - we work with eight different types. You also choose exactly what age group to work with, and what type of job you want to do - either Specialist or General. Then our fantastic team in the USA will match you up with the perfect camp. You must be available for nine weeks, starting anytime between mid May and late June. Once camp has finished, you’ll have time on your visa to travel around America, and plenty of new friends to do it with!
