Meet New Friends 

 

On Summer Camp USA you are going to be working with people from all over the world. You will be sharing a bunk, eating dinner and working alongside new friends every day, quickly gaining lifelong friends in only a matter of days. Even though you will spend 10 weeks with your new friends, you will quickly have another family in America. As they say, the hardest part of camp is saying goodbye.

 

Experience a new and exciting culture 

 

If you’ve ever been to America you’ll know just how impressive this place really is. Whether you love the beautiful national parks or the hustle bustle city life, you can experience it all when on your adventure. American’s LOVE Aussies and they will want to know everything about you! Not only do you get to experience the American culture and lifestyle, you will be able to share things about your culture to everyone at camp! No doubt you will have to explain that we do have internet access and no we didn’t drive to America!

 

Travel America

 

As part of the visa you will have 30 days once camp is finished to travel around America! You may want to use these 30 days to travel with friends from camp, go on a Trek America and have everything organized for you or go solo; no matter what you choose, you will have an amazing time. America is a huge place and has so much to offer, whether you are wanting to travel to NYC, hike Yosemite National Park or watch the Red Sox win a game at Fenway Park – the time you spend exploring after camp is totally what you want to do!!

You get paid working at Summer Camp USA! That’s right, you will be earning money whilst having fun every day. Summer Camp USA offers a competitive salary which makes it that much easier to travel once camp has finished. You are going to be working hard, so we believe that you should be well compensated for all your time and effort. While you’re at camp, you will have very little costs – so saving the money to use it at the end to travel is pretty easy. Camp isn’t about getting rich, it’s about the life-changing experience that you will have!

 

Have the adventure of a lifetime

 

Every day you will get to do something that you love. Summer Camp USA is about having fun whilst working. From wakeboarding, riding horses, eating s’mores around the camp fire; hanging out with new friends – everyday will be filled with different activities, challenges and lots of laughter. No matter what camp you work at the amount of fun, support and camaraderie that you will experience is unlike anywhere else in the world.

This may be the first time you are away from home by yourself, there is no one to tell you how many slices of pizza you can eat, or when you should brush your teeth! During your time at camp you will have countless opportunities to encourage, support and inspire those around you. You will develop your leadership skills! For a lot of campers, you will be their role model and many will want to follow in your footsteps and become a camp counsellor one day.
