Anyone who has been a camp counselor before in one occasion is eligible. If you went to camp once with another agency, you can still return with Camp Leaders. Please note, we only accept 3+ year returners who have previously travelled with Camp Leaders.
Higher wages! As your camp will not be paying an administration/placement fee to Camp Leaders, you are able to negotiate your pocket money directly with camp. You should be paid the same as any other American staff member. Boom!
The US Department of State limits the number of camp counselors who can repeat the programs multiple times to ensure that as many different individuals as possible are able to participate in the in Camp Counselor program. Sponsors are required by the visa regulations (not Camp Leaders or sponsor policy) to limit their third year or more camp counselors to not more than 10% of the total number of participants that the sponsor placed in the immediately preceding year.
As you already have your job we need less information from you - it's super quick, easy and hassle free.
No, we will provide all of the required paperwork. Returners must still attend an appointment at the US Embassy to issue their visas.
