Sommerleir I USA er en stor del av den Amerikanske kulturen og det er tradisjon for barn å tilbringe sommeren hjemmefra på en leir, fylt med aktiviteter og sport. Det er tusenvis av leirer spred rundt omkring i USA.
The great thing about working on a summer camp is that whilst you’re having an amazing summer doing something fun and exciting, you’ll also be benefiting your future at the same time! Camp America is recognised by employers and academic institutions across the world, so it will be a great addition to your CV and make you a stand out applicant.
You get to spend the summer living and working in the USA, so by the end of it you’ll feel like a local! You can make the most of your days off at camp and check out the local area and nearby towns and cities. Then once camp is finished, you can stay in America for a further 30 days to travel!
Spending 9 weeks in the USA is a great opportunity to improve your English language skills as you will be speaking English your whole time on camp. Don’t be worried by this, you don’t have to be fluent before arriving but a good level of spoken English is required.
The bonds formed between the staff on camp means you become like family! You’ll rely on each other, you’ll work hard together, you’ll laugh together, you’ll learn together and ultimately you’ll share the summer together.
Camp enables you to become a role model, a leader and a team player - perhaps without you even noticing! You couldn’t gain all of these skills in a normal summer job, so by taking part in the programme you’re not only going to have an amazing time, you’re also helping your future too!
Whether you’d rather look after the camp working in the kitchen, office, or maintenance, or looking after the kids as a general or activities specialist, there’s something for everyone!
Spend a minimum of 9 weeks living and working on a summer camp in the USA!

"I have a lot of great memories of camp! Being a counsellor is more then just being there, clocking in and out. You are actually becoming a very important part of the children's life's! Believe me when I say it, they will remember you for a very long time! The reason why I know this is the fact that I had a very special moment at camp. I had a 12 year old kid in my cabin, he was extremely shy and really didn't want to be there...at all! He didn't want to be a part of the activities so I felt a bit sorry for the little guy! So I tried everything I could to get him to participate and after a couple of days he was a completely different kid. Going from the shy kid to the center of attention, It was a great week for both me and him and something I will always remember!"
