Real Experiences
Don't just take our word for it - this is just a snapshot of the amazing summers our participants have had at summer camp and why they keep coming back for more.
Making s’mores after campers learnt how to build a campfire during Outdoor Living Skills is always a highlight, along with making the campers laugh by performing funny songs and skits as they join in.
My first year at camp was after being hired at a Camp America recruitment fair. Within a week of the campers arriving, they’d become little brothers which made returning the easiest decision I’d ever made.
You are captivated by the surroundings and unplugged from the outside world. It’s an adventure inside a bubble that you never want to pop, full of lasting friendships and unforgettable memories.
The Camp America team are all so helpful. The interviewers are amazing as well, they answer all your questions about the camp experience, whilst also helping to make your application really stand out.
Being away from home comforts really makes you appreciate the little things at camp. I love the weather, the lake and activities, but creating smiles and excitement for others really motivated me.
Were my post-camp travels worth it? Would I do it all again? Well, this year will be my third summer in a row… so you tell me!

Why Be an Adventure Counselor?
If you love being outdoors, being an Outdoor & Adventure Counselor will mean you get to spend the entire summer outside and get paid in the process. You might specialise or be part of lots of different outdoor adventures, but either way you’ll help lots of kids experience new activities and discover their self-confidence. As an activity specialist, you might also be eligible for a higher rate of pocket money, but this will depend on the activity, the camp, and the demand this season.
