3+ year returner spaces are highly limited due to U.S. Department of State regulations restricting the number of 3+ year returners being able to return to camp.
If you are a 3+ year returner please apply as soon as possible to give yourself the best chance of securing a place.
3+ year returners are not eligible for early bird discounts.
Anyone who has been a camp counselor before is eligible. If you went to camp 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!
Our returner fees are now paid in dollars internationally, this is to make the payment process more streamlined for participants and camps. If you have an American bank account or bank with Monzo, Wise etc, it may be more beneficial for you to make payment via this option.
We do not accept 3+ year returners from other agencies as spaces for 3+ year returners are highly limited. You must have previously travelled with Camp Leaders.
If you have had a J1 visa in the past 3 years, you may be eligible to apply for a postal visa, meaning that you would not need to attend an in person embassy appointment.
