How Does It Work?

There’s a lot that needs to happen to get you to camp. We will be with you every step of the way, from helping you through the requirements of your application to 24/7 on the ground support once you’re at camp. Unlike other organisations, we are an official J-1 visa sponsor and we will walk you through all the required documentation. We also offer a Flights Included package to help you pay less upfront and make sure you can enjoy the summer of a lifetime with minimal hassle.

Real Experiences

Don't take our word for it - this is just a snapshot of the amazing summers our participants have had, and the reasons they keep going back year after year.

Applying for a Campower role was not my first choice but I don't regret it at all. You can live the camp experience from another point of view, but it’s as rewarding as being a counsellor.

Being able to go back and see my friends again and try different activities and new roles every year just keeps it exciting. Every year brings new fun and new challenges.

Going to camp really pushed me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to experience new things, from being trained in how to operate a ropes course to managing a team of staff.

My first year at camp working in the office was a great experience! We worked on a shift rota which allowed us plenty of time off in which we could get involved in all the camp activities.
