Keep Camp Easy
Since 1969 we’ve sent thousands of participants to hundreds of camps across the USA. Our application process has been tried and tested and improved according to your experiences.
The Camp America team are all so helpful. The interviewers are amazing as well, they answer all your questions about the camp experience, whilst also helping to make your application really stand out.
You join this bubble of people who are extremely caring and supportive, they help you grow as a person and unlock new confidence. I would recommend Camp America to anyone!
Camp America was a life changing experience for me. I didn’t think I would have the experience and confidence to be a certified lifeguard. but the training I received was thorough and I had a lot of support.
The job fairs are a great way to display your personality and show off your people skills, which camp directors can’t see on paper. Being confident is just as valuable as having a specific skillset!
This year will be my 7th year! I keep going back to camp because I can impact lives, grow culturally, and make life-long friends from all over the world.
I would definitely recommend going to a Job Fair as it gives you the opportunity to check out all the camps available and increases your chances of getting placed at a camp you really want to go to.
