Get ready for next year and apply to Camp America! If you’ve never heard of Camp America but what discounted flights and get paid for your hard work then this is definitely the program for you!
You only have to pay for your flights to get you there and back home in Aus and pay a program fee of $770 for first timers and $380 for returners!
So what is it?
Camp America is a nine week adeventure where you live and work in a US summer camp AND you get paid for it!
Camp counsellor jobs start between May and June and run for 9-12 weeks; all camps will complete training before the kids arrive.
“While you’re at camp all of your food and accommodation is taken care of so you have no expenses while you are at camp (unless of course, you want to go on a shopping spree at the local Walmart!). Once camp has ended you’ll be paid pocket money by the camp director and then enjoy a 30 day grace period to travel throughout the US with all those new friends you’ve made!
There are over 100 skills to choose to outline on your application (listed here); so no matter what your skills or experience, there’s a place to use them at camp. Being a camp leader will help you to grow, both professionally and personally, make tonnes of new friends and experience the “real USA”. Being a counselor at a US summer camp looks amazing on your CV; it shows you’re independent enough to work overseas, that you were able to deal with an unfamiliar environment, work within a team and be a leader.And importantly it demonstrates you embracing cultural exchange with the US and its people. Being a Camp Counsellor positions can at times be tough, but it’s an amazing experience you’ll never forget!” – Camp America.
