You get more pocket money...
In California, Colorado and Wisconsin, participants are eligible to be paid the minimum wage/fixed rate. In all other states, counsellors are exempt from this law. So getting offered a placement in California/Colorado/Wisconsin means extra pay! Wahoo!
You'll need to sort out and pay for your own travel arrangements to and from camp...
Camp America flights are not available for California/Colorado/Wisconsin placements, so this means you will need to sort your own flights. Don't worry though - you should be able to find reasonably priced flights online. If you are from Poland, our Warsaw office can assist you with your flights and get good deals for you. If you are from New Zealand our agent in your country will help you with your flights - www.campamerica.co.nz Remember: ask your camp which airport(s) are best to fly into and how you get to camp from there.

Your camp contract...
If you accept a placement at a California/Colorado/Wisconsin camp, your camp contract may also show deductions made for other items such as accommodation and meals. However, this WON'T impact the pocket money you receive. Those going to California/Wisconsin - check exactly how much pocket money you will receive under the 'Placement' section of your online CA account. If you are going to Colorado your camp will let you know your pay - it is likely to be more than the amount on your online CA account.
