Summer Should Be Fun...Seriously!

Who you trust with your summer matters.

A summer working at a camp in the USA should give you everything you’re hoping for: the chance to travel, try new things, make friends and do something meaningful.
What it shouldn’t give you is stress about visas, admin or what happens if plans change.

Camp is fun, but it’s also a job. And the agency behind you shapes how smooth and supported your experience feels.

You shouldn’t be worrying about your visa, flights, paperwork or insurance. Those are the behind-the-scenes things we take care of, so you can focus on the summer you actually want.

Our view is simple:
Summer should be fun… seriously.
We handle the serious parts so you can enjoy the rest.

That’s where trust comes in and why the agency you choose really matters.

Fun for You. Serious for Us.

On the surface, Camp America looks like a route to working at a US camp.
Behind that, it’s a full support system built over decades.

We’re:

• An official J-1 visa sponsor, not just a middleman
• A programme that has been running since 1969
• Part of AIFS, which is beneficially owned by the Cyril Taylor Charitable Foundation, delivering cultural exchange programmes since 1964 for more than 50,000 young people each year
• Based in the UK, USA, Australia, Germany and Poland, supported by a global team focused on making your summer run smoothly

You see cabins, docks and colour wars.
We see safeguarding, regulations, logistics and emergency planning.
All the moving parts that make your summer possible.

You don’t need to worry about those details. We already are.

Trust Starts Before You Even Get an Interview

Anyone can make a TikTok. Trust comes from how people show up for you in real life.

With Camp America, you’re dealing with people who:

• Have done the programme themselves
• Work in real offices you can visit
• Turn up at schools, universities and recruitment events
• Actually talk to you, not hide behind forms or generic replies

We use tech to make things quick and accessible, but not to avoid real conversation.
If you want a human, you get one.
If you’re unsure, nervous or your parents have a long list of questions, we’ll answer properly.
Even if you start with the chatbot, switching to a real person is easy.
 

Embassy Stress? We Plan for That Too.

The US Embassy can feel intimidating. So we don’t leave you to figure it out alone.

We:

• Help you prepare for your appointment
• Are physically in London on Fridays during J-1 season
• Run relaxed Embassy Check-Out Days where you can get everything checked before heading home

It’s simple, calm and designed to help you walk away confident rather than stressed.

That’s what showing up for you looks like.

When Something Isn’t Right, We Don’t Shrug and Move On

Most people don’t sign up for camp expecting issues. But it’s important to know someone will support you if things feel off.

Sometimes:

• A camp isn’t what you expected
• The role doesn’t fit your strengths
• You’re finding it tough to settle in

Our job isn’t to say “you’ll be fine.” It’s to help.

We talk with you and your Camp Director, look for solutions on the ground and rematch you if it’s clearly not the right fit.

Cheap fees and big promises are everywhere.
But when you’re thousands of miles from home, what you need is people who know what they’re doing and can step in when it matters.

We’ve Been Doing This Properly Since Day One

Camp America has been around since 1969. Over that time, one thing has become clear: doing things properly isn’t optional. It’s the whole point.

That looks like:

• Clear advice, even when it’s not the easiest answer
• Staying present when things feel stressful
• Building long-term relationships with camps so we can genuinely support you

It’s steady, reliable and consistent. The foundations trust is built on.

That’s why generations of participants, and now their parents, keep choosing us.
 

Why People Still Choose Us

You can spend hours comparing fees, perks and Instagram feeds.
Once you’re out there, none of that matters as much as:

• Who’s actually there for you
• Who sponsors your visa
• Who you can speak to if you’re worried
• Who steps in when things don’t go smoothly

Camp is supposed to be one of the best summers of your life.
Our job is to make sure there’s a safety net beneath all that fun.

Summer should be fun… seriously.

So choose like it counts.
We’ll take care of the serious part.
You get to live the fun.
