Camp America Job Fairs: The Biggest In-Person Camp Hiring Events in the UK
17.12.25
If you’re serious about working at a summer camp in the USA, there’s one route that consistently delivers results: meeting camps in person.
That’s why Camp America Job Fairs exist - and why they’ve become the biggest and best in-person camp hiring events in the UK.
This isn’t something we copied.
This isn’t a trend we jumped on.
This is our thing.
Camp America was the first organisation in the industry to bring large-scale, in-person US summer camp hiring events to the UK - flying camp directors over so applicants could meet them face-to-face. Decades later, it’s still the best way to match camps and staff properly.
Why Camp America Job Fairs are different
We bring the camps to you!
At our January Job Fairs, over 120 US summer camps travel to the UK to recruit staff in person - offering 1,000+ summer camp jobs across a huge range of roles.
London alone hosts 120+ camps, with 50+ camps each in Glasgow and Manchester. That means more choice, more conversations, and more opportunities - all in one day.
No endless emails.
No guessing what a camp is really like.
Just real conversations with the people who actually make hiring decisions.
This is how camp jobs really happen
Camp directors don’t just want applications - they want to meet people.
At Camp America Job Fairs, you can:
- Speak directly to camp directors
- Ask questions that actually matter
- Compare camps side by side
- Work out what fits you
- Move your placement forward in person
It’s the largest in-person opportunity to meet US summer camps in the UK - with more roles available in one place than anywhere else.
Why we back in-person hiring
Camp is built on connection. Hiring should be too.
We believe nothing beats being in the same room - reading the vibe, asking questions, and making a real impression. That’s why we invest heavily in IRL events, and why our Job Fairs are known for being:
- Well organised
- Supportive
- High energy
- And genuinely effective
This isn’t a side project for us.
It’s the foundation of how we do camp hiring.
