Each year over 7,500 young people take the opportunity… will you be one of them?

Travel


The Open Road....

We're not going to lie...once you've finished with camp, you'll be well and truly 'cream crackered' (an English way of saying "very tired"!) and in need of a hard-earned rest - and luckily with Camp America, that's just what you get!

Following the end of your placement - you'll have up to 2 months to travel (in total your visa allows for up to 4 months placement followed by 1 month of travel - the beauty of this is that most placements end well within 4 months)

The travel is one of the most fun parts of the programme - it's your time to let loose, kick back, step-up, have fun and live life! And there's no where better to do all of that than in the US. The landscape is indescribable (but we'll give it a go!) from the mountains in Colorado, to the beaches in Florida, from the wide-open spaces of Texas to the old-style charm of Louisiana, from the deserts and canyons of Arizona to the cities of New York, Chicago, Seattle, Washington DC...there is quite honestly something for everyone to enjoy - whether it's nature, beach-life, history, art & culture or just plain shopping there's fun stuff to do in every state.

So where will you head? Down the East Coast? Up the West Coast? Cross Country?

Just try and get bored...go on...we dare ya!

 

"The past seven summers have given me a major insight into American culture that I just wouldn't have had any other way. Each summer I have been able to spend time travelling across the U.S visiting a number of cities, landmarks and national parks. I have become aware of cultural differences that I never knew existed and I have learnt that the world is a much bigger and more diverse place than I realised." - Kieran, UK

"I got voted best cabin leader during 3rd sesssion and got voted as 2nd best cabin leader of the summer by the rest of the staff. The best thing was that the girl who came first had been there for 13 years. I feel I achieved alot this summer and can see the skills I've learnt impactng my life already." - Oonagh, UK
