What happens on the day


It's really simple!

  1. You will first be asked to attend a short information talk which will explain more about the Camp America programme and how the day operates.
  2. Following the talk (once you have completed your paperwork and had it checked) you'll be invited to look around the Camp Director's room - this is your opportunity to find out all about the camps - so don't be shy!
  3. Once you've found a camp that you like (and that likes you!) and you have been placed (by this we mean offered a job), you'll need to go to 'Processing' where a member of the Camp America staff will process your placement.

DO NOT LEAVE THE FAIR WITHOUT BEING PROCESSED - YOU MAY JEAPORDISE YOUR PLACEMENT!!

 

One girl was 13 years old, Attitude with a capital A, and hard as nails from a life just as hard. Because she came from an environment where she needed to keep up her stoicism for her survival and after two weeks at camp (and a lot of serious attitude problems), she let her guard down and became a kid for a few days. From the self described area of San Francisco called the 'Dog Pound' to the Mendocino Redwood Forest, on her last night she asked me to come tuck her into bed and sing her to sleep.
