AmeriCamp  Reviews 

AmeriCamp offered consistent and reliable help when I was going working at a summer camp for the first time. They helped me get placed at a camp with a friend, made the visa process easy and made me feel prepared for camp!

I went to the Americamp fair in London in February and it was an absolute joke. Me and my cousin were told not to apply to any camps as there will be a camp fair and it’s better to talk to camps face to face etc. Me and my cousin payed to travel to London, payed for a hotel, only to go to the fair where all the positions were taken for the roles that we wanted to work for. After hours of talking to camps, only a few people were able to get jobs and there was still so many people at the fair still. A few people looked like they were going to cry and one girl told me that she accepted a job that she didn’t even want to do as she was worried she wouldn’t get anything else. After hours there was a massive line for people that wanted to be on a waiting list for jobs in the future. I was talking to a few people who were working at the fair and some said that they didn’t even get a place at the fair in previous years and had to get in touch with camps themselves at home. My cousin asked if there is a list of camps that we could apply to and one of the ladies said no and to just google camps !! Not to mention that many of the American staff members were extremely rude - one decided to just talk to someone else whilst I was in a middle of a conversation with them and another told me to line up behind her if I wanted to talk to her as she was having a private conversation (in the middle of the room?) !! I also had an American staff member from a camp tell me and my cousin that we aren’t allowed to wear makeup and we aren’t allowed to curl our hair (whilst I was sitting there with red lipstick and my cousin with curled hair). This comment disgusted me the most as wearing makeup and curling your hair doesn’t affect your work what so ever and wanting to wear makeup and look pretty for yourself is frowned upon and is seen as something else. To have a man tell us that is also unacceptable. I bet he didn’t tell any boys at the camp that they can’t gel their hair or shave etc. After leaving the fair I have decided not to do Americamp after all as I don’t want to spend my summer being exploited by people who think it’s acceptable to tell two women what they can and can’t wear in 2025 (whilst WE are paying THEM to work for them) and to completely dismiss and disregard me considering I could have been their future employees.

BE AWARE WHEN HANDING YOUR MONEY OVER. There is no cooling off period, you will loose £450 straight away, even if you have a genuine reason why you can't go.
It's such a shame that they are happy to take teenager's money, with no guarantee of a placement at the end.

Lauren was so nice and helpful and the experience was so exciting. All the members of staff were so helpful! Would recommend for sure

Just been hired at the Americamp Camp fair and it was amazing! The staff are so helpful and reassuring. The whole process has been easy and I have been guided to the perfect camp for me!

Staff were really helpful, really kind straight to the point. Loved every single aspect of this today, and I GOT HIRED 🥳🥳🥳, good day today I reackon

Extremely helpful, found my dream camp !

Would have been better in a bigger room with more seeting available. Also would have been better if camps updated their roles they had available more regular to avoid waiting in ques to rome not being available. Overall tho great expereince all staff really helpful and got placed at a great camp. Even got to talk to 3 other girls going to same canp thanks to one of the Ameri Camp staff who introduced us and we got eachothers snapchats

this has always been my dream since i was 9 years old unfortunately 5 months before i was due to depart and 1 week till my visa interview i get told they cannot procced with my application due to mental health related subjects even to i am clean and i have been for a while the apparently where not a wear on my previous mental health issues i also knew what i was sighing up for when allying as i have worked in nursery's and high demanding places . personally the whole policy isn't clear as it says " pre medical condition" don't know if it is just me but i though that meant medical not mental and even though i don't understand what i did not disclose there still isn't much help and no refund either beware don't spend over £1k if your not sure what to do

Couldn’t get a friendlier company than AmeriCamp, start to finish they were amazing.

Got placed at my dream camp at the Edinburgh fair, just over a week after enquiring!

Very well organised event, with loads of support.

Application process is straightforward and simple.

Don’t think, just do it!

Amazing, so quick and helpful. I want to give a shoutout to Juliette, helped me a lot.

Amazing staff and really helpful and friendly

From sending in my application to helping with any questions I had I seriously recommend Americamp low fees to answers to your questions just a phone call away the whole process was so easy

AmeriCamp provided invaluable guidance through a process that was entirely new to me. I had the idea to spend a summer abroad at a camp but didn’t know where to start. They helped me find the perfect placement and were transparent and clear throughout. The camp fair was especially helpful, allowing me to meet their representatives in person and connect over coffee with the future directors of my camp. Thanks to AmeriCamp, I found my ideal summer home.

Camp is such a beautiful community with such amazing people, that you create bonds with for life. As soon as I finished camp I knew I would be going back. The connections you make with both campers and counsellors are like no other, you find yourself as you grow as a person in camp, and you find your people. Camp is a safe place that feels like home, it was so inclusive and welcoming to everyone. It will be the best summer of your life (or summers if you return like so many do!). Making friends is so easy too, everyone is in the same boat. I’m so so happy and grateful I got to have this experience with AmeriCamp, and how amazing they were helping me through the entire process, keeping me up to date, checking in before, during and after camp, and making it really easy to do. I couldn’t recommend it more.

Eloise that works for the Americamp team has been amazing, she’s helped me with signing up and she was very thorough with explaining everything to me, she deserves the recognition.

used this agency and it helped me have the summer of a lifetime I cannot thank them enough - would highly recommend d going with Americamp as not only do the offer some of the lowest fees but they offer a great salary also they were so helpful and they was always one email or phone call away if you ever needed any help- would most definitely advise using their services if you are thinking of working at a summer camp

AmeriCamp is an amazing company. I have came to work in America with AmeriCamp twice now and each time AmeriCamp made my experience a smooth and stress free one. The company is very organized and always have answers to questions and concerns.

So helpful with the application process and they have helped give me the best summer I've ever had.

I had an amazing experience with AmeriCamp. From the moment I applied, the staff were extremely helpful and responsive. It was an unforgettable summer, and I would highly recommend AmeriCamp to anyone.
