What is summer camp? 🏕️
Camp staff are hired to look out for the youngsters and teach them new skills - which makes it an ideal place for young adults to develop skills and confidence in a new environment.
Summer camps hire international staff to introduce campers to people from all around the world.
The benefits of working at summer camp:
Increased employability
A job at summer camp is a great way to build a CV and boost employability.
Working at summer camp develops responsibility, independence, and drive. Employers around the world will easily recognise these valuable traits.
Character building
Working at summer camp can be tough work. Developing traits like grit and determination will ensure a successful summer.
Camp staff are held accountable for their daily responsibilities, keeping to the camp schedule, and remaining professional throughout the summer.
"The skills gained through the experience develops the students as individuals and enhances their employability when they enter the jobs market"
Safe working environment
If we wouldn't send our own kids there, we wouldn't send yours, either. We pride ourselves on providing a high-quality experience, every step of the way.
When partnering with camps, we make sure that they're fully accredited, and place a high value on providing a safe environment for campers and staff.
Expanded network
Summer camps hire people from all over the world. International staff learn about new cultures and build a network of relationships across the globe.
Most people head to summer camp by themselves, so staff at camp form genuine friendships as they share an incredible travel experience.
Affordable, safe travel.
After camp, the J1 visa allows participants to travel for up to 30 days. It's a great opportunity to explore America in a way that works for them.
They'll be paid for their time at camp, so they can experience America without needing to save heaps of money beforehand. We've also partnered with The Coyote Trip to help make after camp travel even easier.
"We actively support our student's participation in the Camp Leaders program as it boosts their employability and develops their leadership skills"
