^{What to bring to your interview:}

When applying to Camp America there are certain important items you'll need to supply...

References: every application (unless you're returning to the same camp) should be accompanied by 2 references. We're pretty strict with our reference rules, and we'll be unable to accept any references that don't match our requirements so pay attention!

References & Paperwork:

• Less than 12 months old, and dated to show this!
• Written by someone who has known you in a professional capacity (e.g. not a friend, neighbour or family member) for a minimum of 6 months within the last 18 months.
• On letterheaded paper, or have a business card/stamp attached.
• Completed giving the full details (address and telephone number/fax/email) of the person giving the reference.
• Positive and relevant - remember potential Camp Directors will see them!

You can download a pdf version of the Open Character Reference here.

Police Check: as well as references each application will require a police check. In England and Scotland you'll be required to complete a form to obtain a Criminal Records Bureau check at interview. In all other countries you'll be expected to obtain your own Police Check which you can generally apply for directly from your local police station.

For more information or advice on either references or police checks, please speak to your interviewer.
