Orientation starts on the 21st and the kids will arrive on the 28th
If you guys have any questions about camp just ask, we could even meet up at some point before camp starts in glasgow or something

Theres a staff lodge for the underagers on camp
and your contract will stop you going to the bar if your under 21, not the law
they take it seriously at camp, underage drinking and stuff like that

No bother JC, thanks! Yeah definitely we should get everyone together when more people have been on the forum!

lol sure you'll manage without the drink megan, just think of the night out you'll have when u get home

Theres probably still loads of people to be placed as well!

there has been quite alot of people been placed already, you can check on your Camp America Direct page.
Alot of returners are going back that dont use the forum tho

btw guys there is a group on facebook for the 2011 staff, if you add me i can add you to the group

Haha, yeah I'm sure I'll survive. It's just the best bonding times happen when one is under the influence! aha

Oh, and Steven, Elly emailed me back thanking me for being so prompt with my applying online and said that my brief answers were fine. So maybe just apply as soon as you can, no need to go into great detail on anything though, I didn't. And maybe then send her an email and make sure she got it okay?
She also said that my contract and stuff should be arriving soon x

yeah your contract and welcome packs will be emailed to you
megan where abouts in glasgow you from ?

well, right now I'm staying at a flat in the Merchant City, haven't gotten round to telling my flatmate I'll be moving out in June though...aha.
But originally I'm from the Isle of Bute, just up here for uni and work
What about you? x

im from uddingston, just outside glasgow
this will sound stupid but merchant city isnt the same as the royal exchange square is it ?

Haha, not stupid at all, it's round that general area, yeah!
Like near George Square and stuff? I'm literally like 10 minutes walk from town. So it's pretty good for nights out and shizz
Heard of Uddingston, but no idea where abouts it is!

Definitely should organise a night out anyway once more people start being placed! specially if there's a few of us located around Glasgow!
I know I wont be spending my Summer at the exact same camp as you guys, but it'll be good to know folk for training and all that

Hi everyone..
i really badly want to be placed at this camp!
i got the london recruitment fair on saturday..
any returners got any advice to help me get myself the job!

Thankssss

Hey Katie!
I'm not a returned, but the women who chatted to me (Elly) was really nice and
basically I just went on about my experiences with kids, and things that would make me a good choice for them, just show that you're enthusiastic and up for a challenge! so just chat a lot about yourself, like straight from the off, pour it all out so that they don't really even need to ask you anything! aha

Good luck on Saturday! x

hey guys well done every1 at being placed this will b my 1st time at vacamas but not at camp i remember last yr how excited i was t was great and just put me off doin my uni work lol.
Im very excited and nervous about camp but think it'l b great

J.C just wodering what the group is called on fb coz either im blind or i cant find it lol

hey Naomi, the person that created the group made it a provate group for some reason so if you add me i can invite you into the group

Katie i dont think that Vacamas will be at the recruitment fair in London this month, i was working for Vacamas at the edinburgh fair and Elly (the camp director) flew back to new york the day after.

And yeah megan Uddingston is pretty boring haha, i do my camp america interviews near the royal exchange square

I got placed at the Edinburgh recruitment fair, don't think its sunk in yet.

Has anyone else filled out the recruitment form on the web site, i started tonight, and it seems like it could take a while. The form also asks for three references, do i need to fill out the spaces for the third reference.
