Good luck and enjoy everyone! xx

Hi I'm Stefan and I'm 20.

2nd year at Peconic Dunes Camp on the sunny and beautiful North Fork of Long Island, New York. I was a music counsellor last year and am applying for a senior position this year (either as a co-ordinator or a unit leader).

To all of you worried about getting placed, don't be. I got my application in, in like Feb last year. Got placed by emailing camps just before the trade fair, as I couldn't get down to London. Some camps don't like it, but some view it as pro-active.

At the trade fair, I'd get there as early as possible and be as enthusiastic as possible when chatting to the camp director.

Good luck :)

Hi everybody!

I'm Natalie/Nat, I'm 23 and I live near Blackpool. I'm currently completing my masters in physiotherapy at keele uni and I also teach Zumba. It's my first time at CA but I've been placed at Pine Tree Day Camp in Florida, and I cannot wait!!! Anyone else heading to the same place?? I plan to stay over there and travel for as long as possible, but apparently there's a new restriction on how long you can stay over :? any idea how long?

Feel free to add me on facebook :)

Hi everyone ! My name is Beckie, I am 26 years old and I am from Pembrokeshire in West Wales.
This is my second summer with CA, though the first one was four years ago! I am still waiting to be placed, but my first summer was at Camp Ton-A-Wandah in NC so if anyone has any questions about the camp or NC in general feel free to ask away!
I also spent my summer of 2010 in California working at a resort, so I know a little bit about northern CA if anyone has any questions there!

I am hoping to do a few weeks traveling with fellow counsellors, or by myself before my fiance comes out to join me for a holiday!

Hi I'm Zoe, 19 and from Wigan, a place near Manchester.

I am currently going to Huddersfield Uni in my first year studying Broadcast Journalism. I applied for camp america last year and had to cancel it due to my last exam being 2 days after the closing date :(

But after the recruitment fair I got given a place in Camp Wise. Is anyone going?

Zoe :)
