hi,

It is gratifying to find people who go to the same place ..
I am French, I have 21 years and I am really NOT GOOD IN ENGLISH .............. That is why I made this trip ... !

And you come from where?
It is therefore way there!

Post after the camp
Travel after the camp, of course!
But between the end of my contract at the camp and the beginning of my work at the factors I have very little time (2 weeks).
Finally we will see how to organize on the spot.

What job do you go to camp?
What are you studying at university?

Hi,

Ermmm...so many questions....I'm 22 at uni from warwickshire...flying out very shortly :P But very nervous...oh and waitressing as I said. When you arrive at Newark you are taken to the Ramada hotel by a Camp America Rep and then given instructions about getting to camp the next day. I presume that we either get picked up, or are told exactly how to get there. If you have any queries I would email Laurie...I have done several times and she always gets back to me quickly :D

Oh and after camp I'm getting the bus to New York and meeting my sister there for a week of hardcore shopping!

Hi everyone,

as some here may realise from other posts on other threads, i am robert (or just rob for short) and am also going to block and hexter. i'll do a rachel here :D ...im 27 (yes, that old!) from scotland, am currently a p.e & sports/health development student, i fly out next tuesday (june 3rd) and its gonna be my 4th summer at the same camp! :D

rachel was right, when you get to Newark, theres a Camp America rep waiting after immigration, they take you and like 20 others on a bus to the ramada inn (about 40 mins away) where your given information on how to get to camp...it'll either be by bus from port authority in new york (you get a bus from the ramada inn to port authority) or you will be picked up, if its june 7th you fly then you will probably get picked up...that an ok explaination?
