Camp America Recensioni 

The company was so helpful with any questions I had and were always only a phone call away. Definitely will be back next year.

I felt I needed to write this review as my experience of Camp America last year was positive. If you haven't worked part-time before or are used to being looked after at home by parents/family, I wouldn't recommend it. You work extremely hard, but as long as the Team are working together, it is an incredible experience. I was going into my third year at University and had lived away from family for 2 years. It's far from slave labour, though if you are a bit of a prince/princess, this is not for you.

I went through Camp America to work at a summer camp. I was able to research some of the camps before attending an open day in Edinburgh, where i was hired on the spot. Super easy and really exciting, especially speaking to someone who directly worked at the Camp.

The camp I chose was a smaller, girl scout camp with c. 75 -100 girls at a time. We slept on platform tents (which at first was tough), though rotated through different sites within the camp and met different members of the team. Some areas of the camp were better than others. The hours were 7am - 8/9pm, though that would include taking the girls to the sailing area where we would "spot" or to specialist activities where other members of the team took the lead. It is not an easy job, you are on the go 6 days per week with a daily 2 hour break, and the second my head hit the pillow at 9pm each night, I was fast asleep.

We were lucky to have an amazing chef at camp - the food was well cooked, there were always healthy options and surprisingly, even though i was completely full after each meal, i lost a little weight from being so active!

We were also quite lucky as the sessions were either 6 days or 13 days, with a day between sessions, so we had full days when all councillors had the day off and we could explore the area. We took trips to the islands, biked along the cycle trail, attended college baseball games etc. I really did make some friends for life and we had an amazing time! Our camp was really diverse, from Israel to Spain, South Africa and UK, plus 50% were American.

Although you are not paid the same as the US Counsellors, you are completely hand held through the visa process, and CA organise everything for you. There is no need to worry! I chose the flex flight option so a few weeks before camp ended, we were able to plan our travels and sort return flights.

If i were to apply again, I was advised to go via the camp and just use CA for the visa process etc. I reckon i would make at least double for the same role though I completely appreciate that i would not have the ability to return, should it not have been for CA in the first place,

Such an incredible company overall, given me so much confidence to be able to travel and work with kids and make my friends for life. The new podcast made by Joe and Zoe has been such a great learning tool to prepare for camp but also such a fun little chat that makes you feel part of something special, Joe and Zoe make you feel like they’re your friends, very warming. From the website, to the social media, to the team, it’s amazing! Definitely recommend to anyone!

I first went to camp near Chicago in 2018 and had an amazing summer. Unfortunately I was unable to return for a couple of years due to other commitments, but in 2021 I planned on going back but due to lockdowns couldn’t get a visa from the US embassy in London… so Camp America went to incredible efforts to send a large number of participants to Mexico City for 2 weeks so we could get our visas at the US embassy there! Couldn’t be more thankful for the effort they put into saving all our summer plans. I then returned again in 2022 and am headed back this summer. I have a great time at the day camp I work at, with unbelievably good pay (low 5 digits for each summer I’ve been a returner). Camp America do a fantastic job of guiding you through the application, placement and visa processes and are on hand to call or email for any questions. I literally cannot recommend the whole experience enough, if you can, do it!

I go to this camp almost every year and it's a home away from home. this summer I am going back to sangamon

This company is exploitative; particularly for UK applicants. You pay Camp America a huge sum to work long hours for them barely breaking even. This programme is perfect for young people with rich parents who can pay the fees so they feel like they're earning their own pocket money. On top of this, if you choose to work for them as a full time care worker (personal care and moving and handling included) you only get paid €100 more a month. An absolute scam. Don't waste your time with this company

You are hand-held through the programme from start to finish. I had the most incredible time at camp and have made friends from around the world that I still speak to every day, 10 years on. It is truly an experience that'll stay with you forever and Camp America are an all inclusive programme that are so supportive.

I went to camp with CA and couldn't have had a better experience. Everything was set out, organised and clear from the beginning and left me with no worries. Even when I had an emergency and had to fly home from my 30 days travel a week early, a member of their team went the absolute extra mile to help me arrange a flight for the next day without the astronomical price attached. For anyone looking for an adventure but might be worried about going it alone, CA is worth the extra money- They truly support you the whole way.

Camp America is helping you all the way trough the process of applying, getting a job, applying for a visa etc. They also keep in touch with you when you are in the middle of your contract and after you come back home. I would nit trade them for any other company. Thank you so much guys!

my experience with camp america has been made easy by the amazing team, this was made with effective communication and continuous support through the process. the team is very genuine and does the best to satisfy youre questions and needs. i would highly recommend choosing camp america to everyone!!

Quick response time from camp America team, process was clear and straight forward

Super trusty website and organisation! Pushed me to finish my application and get it done/out of the way so camps could start taking a look. Super friendly and reliable too!

It wasn't easy.. but worth it!

I've come across a video about Camp America on Tiktok and had a thought (lucky I guess) to give it a try. After few hours of research I dared myself to sign for free online webinar.

Few days later I opened it in browser, but being inspired by that magic of the moment and my habit to postpone everything I had started to fill my application form. At the end of webinar (I listened only partly to :D) I wrote all essential information, scratch of my skills' descriptions and wrote informal plan how to get myself to actually get through this idea.

I knew it wouldn't be easier from this place. On the second day I filled all important information about my skills, experiences and my preferences. After a whole week full of beating with my thoughts I finally paid the first installement forcing myself to sign for the interview.

There was no way to make it pleasant. Every time I have to do something meaningful for myself there is a ton of thoughts to make me run off from the idea. But I am glad I did it.

Interview was great! Whole hour talking, cracking silly jokes and analyzing together my own thoughts pertaining to the whole camp counseloring idea.

Be prepared for questions of cours. If I were you I would check some sites that have written possible question and go through them to get your story straight. You are going to show yourself better if you are confident with what you are saying.

After the interview I had just a week (to be considered for a dicount :3 ) to manage creating video for my application and sending all my references. Be prepared for it!

Camp America made it really easy about all the documents you have to send. You have lots of plain pdfs on their offical page about where and what to send. If you have any questions, ask your chosen interviewer and she/he will be ready to help you. Most of them has already gone through the process so they know what they are saying! (hopefully :P)

At the moment I am settling the date for official interview with possible camp I would go to! I am so excited and nervous at once. But it so natural. I know I am going to do my best and get this place :D

Best advice from me is... be yourself! But. I know it sounds so cliche. You can fool everybody but not yourself. Try do get better at things you think that are going to be beneficial for you as for the position you are applying for. I am not writing just about actual abilities (but these are must have!) but about working on your emotional and communication skills.

The time you start believing in yourself, there's no power to stop you from getting that position at the camp! Hope you get what you work for. A lot of patience, strength and joy during the process!

Too short a time to arrange all documents after the recruitment interview. On the plus side: clear website, helpful office and person chosen to help, good communication, attractive price

The experience was great. Normally I have trouble when given large checklists and many possible links, but the system felt easy to navigate and find the placement. I was confused at the short window I had to reply to camps and nearly missed one I wanted, but luckily, the customer support managed to work hard and get me back. If there was more freedom with picking your opportunities, this would be great

The user interface worka really well;
The hungarian employees help really fast and they are very kind and helpfull.

Unwavering support and captivating camp experiences. The agency is trustworthy due to its experience.

They have been very patient with my constant changing of plans and letting me delay.

The process has so far been straight forward, emails were always responded to quickly and the interviewer was extremely nice.
