Returner deals

If you’re reading this then you’ve either stumbled onto the wrong page or camp was everything you hoped it would be (and more) and you’ve already begun your countdown to next summer... If the latter applies then the great news for you is that CA have a fresh and exciting Returner Deal that is exceptionally friendly to not only your pocket – but also your camps pocket...

Going back to the same camp?

For 2012, no program fee will be charged to your camp whatsoever* - and to you, Camp America are charging only £220, if you arrange your own flight/transport to camp. This deal is also applicable to returning summer camp staff who may have previously participated on a program, other than Camp America**.

Should you wish Camp America to take care of your flight arrangements, then we’ll certainly do so for £299 – which includes a £79 European Airport Security Tax & Fuel Surcharge. Your flight, which is based on a London to New York return***, will cost $995 and this will be billed to your camp. As a Camp America returner, you will have the opportunity to negotiate your own pocket money rate directly with your camp**** and therefore your camp will deduct the price of your flight directly from your final pocket money – making it super easy and economical for you to secure your return to camp!

Both of these options include Camp America’s comprehensive medical insurance and our flight package to New York also includes airport collection, an overnight stay at our arrivals hotel and detailed travel to camp instructions.

*In both instances, a $35 US government administrative fee (SEVIS) is billed to your camp.
**Returners transfering to Camp America from another program will require a face-to-face interview.
***Alternative departure and arrival airports are available, on request.
****Once your salary has been agreed, ask your camp to send you a contract confirming the amount you will be paid.

Fancy trying a new camp?

Applicants wishing to return with Camp America, who are seeking placement on a new camp*, will incur a £95 placement fee which covers the cost involved in finding you a new placement. Thus, the own transport option is priced at £315 and the CA flight option is priced at £394. All other conditions above apply to both of these packages.

*Any returning applicant seeking a new placement will require a face-to-face interview.

Third Party Costs

All Camp America participants are required to complete an enhanced criminal background check, for entry onto our programme. Any applicant who can produce an ACRO (Police Certificate from the Criminal Records Office) or CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) form obtained in 2011 will NOT be required to submit a new application for 2012. Applicants with forms dated before 2011 can obtain these background checks at a cost of £35 (ACRO for Scottish applicants) or £44 (CRB for English, Welsh and Northern Irish applicants).

All Camp America participants are required to furnish a medical disclosure, signed by their doctor/physician. Any applicant who has a form signed and dated from 2011 may not require a new disclosure, if you are returning the same camp and your camp is satisfied with the information provided in your original medical form.
