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 any time between mid May and late June. Our users say... "My bunk soon developed the reputation of being the 'mad bunk' which I was secretly very proud of. We got into trouble for having shaving-cream fights, going mud sliding and doing a raid on the head staff's underwear drawers, but hey, that’s what camp's all about! The day camp ended was one of the saddest moments of my life. As the kids hugged and waved each other goodbye, tears were streaming down my face. These were not just American children; they were my little sisters and friends" - Sally Hall. With CCUSA you will form friendships that will last a lifetime, have the best summer at your perfect camp and make money for doing something that you love. Once camp has finished, you’ll have time on your visa to travel around America, and plenty of new friends to do it with. Qualifications required If you are interested in working with children, then this is definitely for you! Please don't worry if you don't have any experience or qualifications (even better if you do), because as long as you are outgoing, patient, have loads of energy, enjoy working with children, and think you can make a child's summer the best ever, then you are a perfect candidate!
