Who we are


Camp America is an opportunity you shouldn't miss!

It's a chance to do something different with your summer and spend it in the U.S.A. living & working either with children or 'behind the scenes' as support staff on an American Summer Camp. Each year over 7,500 young people take the opportunity...will you be one of them? If you're a 'first timer' to the programme, read on to find out about the fantastic opportunities & experiences you could be part of in summer '08!

We know what we're doing!

Ok some people say we're getting on a bit, but we say we have life experience. We've spent the last 38 years in the business of sending young people over the big pond for a summer of fun, sun, kids and camp - so trust us …we know a thing or two about this - we've been doing it a long time!

We've done it ourselves!

Many of our office staff and interviewers have been to camp themselves and loved it so much, they ended up working for the company helping spread the love!

We're pioneers!

We pride ourselves on staying ahead of the pack - our most recent iniatives include a brand spanking new on-line application system which allows over 900 camps access to your application 24/7 and we introduced a ground-breaking system of basing the after camp payment you get on the skills and experience you have.

The Camp America programme is designed to give you the best of both worlds - work and play. Following your camp/resort placement you'll have up to 2 months to explore the USA and enjoy all the fun, excitement and adventure there is to discover there.

We give great customer service!

We pride ourselves on the fantastic level of service we give you from the moment you apply, we're with you every step of the way to ensure that you have the best possible summer at camp.

We make applying easy!

To secure your placement at a US summer camp or resort for summer '08 here's what you need to do...

You complete our online application, pay your first deposit & meet with one of our interviewers. They're nice people who know lots about camp (many have been themselves).

Your application gets posted on our on-line matching system, and is available to be seen by over 900 camps in the US!

We find you a placement - you say "hurrah!". We tell you where you're going and provide you the assistance you need in obtaining the J-1 visa, and take all the hassle out of arranging the boring stuff like flights & medical insurance.

You leave on a jet plane, you spend the summer at camp, you travel a bit, you're happy. Job done!
