Camp America Reviews 

Camp America is an amazing company. Their support is first class, and they care about everyone in the process, from their programme applicants to the campers at the camps they work with!

The office staff can't do enough to help, whether by phone or by email and will always follow up on any queries.

In short, the company is professional, friendly, well organised and passionate about making participants' experiences in the USA their best ever!

Camp America was the best thing I’ve ever done in my life! I made friends for life, and it helped me to decide on my career. It was the most unforgettable summer ever and I recommend it to anyone I can. The whole process was easy, with guidance along the way! If you’re after adventure, a great summer in a supported way, this is defo the way to go!

An absolutely incredible experience that I would recommend to anyone.
Camp America’s support was invaluable, supporting every step of the way

Wouldn’t trust any other company to look after you as much as camp America do!

What was meant to be a 1 summer thing, turned into me not being able to stay away and becoming a huge part of my future and career. I really couldn’t recommend enough. The CA staff are so supportive and friendly, you know you’re always in good hands with them!

Camp America is a fabulous company! They help whenever needed their team are very helpful and they provide constant support! They also provide a flight option which really helps especially as a first timer! I absolutely love camp and highly recommend CA to anyone looking for an agency!

The Camp America Company as a whole has been incredible! I really cannot recommend it enough, super helpful and lovely to work with

Unbelievable company ! Just completed my first year at camp using camp America as my agency. Best decision I could of made, made the whole experience easy and enjoyable.

Camp America we’re so helpful from the very start of applying to getting on the plane! With making new friends and having the best summer, camp America was the best decision I ever made

Camp America honestly has changed my life. Even as a first timer, by the end of camp I'd made more friends and opened more doors than I ever realised I could. Doing this changed my direction in life and showed me the potential I had to do more and be a part of something bigger. If there are others looking for that progression and connection, or even just a bit more structure. This is something I cannot recommend enough!!!

i CANNOT recommend this company enough, as a young girl living on a island at the top of Scotland, Getting to camp was a struggle, but with all the support and time they put into helping me make it to camp was amazing. As a first timer going to camp i would 100% recommend getting the flight package as all your flights are ready for you.

Camp America was so easy to use!! The company aided me in booking my flights and sorting all my transfers out! The prices were affordable and for what you get is such a bargain!!

Cannot recommend this company enough as they were very helpful when it came to booking flights, managing payments and finding the right camp for me, a camp I want to return to in the near future.

What's more, I really enjoyed the 'Treks' they organise and offer for everyone once camp finishes. These are a great option for those looking to travel after camp as you will get to see sights and cities that are truly breath-taking and unique

Throughout the whole application process Camp America had great communication. The application and overall profile portal is very straightforward and well laid out.

I’ve loved my first summer at camp and already plan on returning next year

The company was so helpful with any questions I had and were always only a phone call away. Definitely will be back next year.

I felt I needed to write this review as my experience of Camp America last year was positive. If you haven't worked part-time before or are used to being looked after at home by parents/family, I wouldn't recommend it. You work extremely hard, but as long as the Team are working together, it is an incredible experience. I was going into my third year at University and had lived away from family for 2 years. It's far from slave labour, though if you are a bit of a prince/princess, this is not for you.

I went through Camp America to work at a summer camp. I was able to research some of the camps before attending an open day in Edinburgh, where i was hired on the spot. Super easy and really exciting, especially speaking to someone who directly worked at the Camp.

The camp I chose was a smaller, girl scout camp with c. 75 -100 girls at a time. We slept on platform tents (which at first was tough), though rotated through different sites within the camp and met different members of the team. Some areas of the camp were better than others. The hours were 7am - 8/9pm, though that would include taking the girls to the sailing area where we would "spot" or to specialist activities where other members of the team took the lead. It is not an easy job, you are on the go 6 days per week with a daily 2 hour break, and the second my head hit the pillow at 9pm each night, I was fast asleep.

We were lucky to have an amazing chef at camp - the food was well cooked, there were always healthy options and surprisingly, even though i was completely full after each meal, i lost a little weight from being so active!

We were also quite lucky as the sessions were either 6 days or 13 days, with a day between sessions, so we had full days when all councillors had the day off and we could explore the area. We took trips to the islands, biked along the cycle trail, attended college baseball games etc. I really did make some friends for life and we had an amazing time! Our camp was really diverse, from Israel to Spain, South Africa and UK, plus 50% were American.

Although you are not paid the same as the US Counsellors, you are completely hand held through the visa process, and CA organise everything for you. There is no need to worry! I chose the flex flight option so a few weeks before camp ended, we were able to plan our travels and sort return flights.

If i were to apply again, I was advised to go via the camp and just use CA for the visa process etc. I reckon i would make at least double for the same role though I completely appreciate that i would not have the ability to return, should it not have been for CA in the first place,

Such an incredible company overall, given me so much confidence to be able to travel and work with kids and make my friends for life. The new podcast made by Joe and Zoe has been such a great learning tool to prepare for camp but also such a fun little chat that makes you feel part of something special, Joe and Zoe make you feel like they’re your friends, very warming. From the website, to the social media, to the team, it’s amazing! Definitely recommend to anyone!

I first went to camp near Chicago in 2018 and had an amazing summer. Unfortunately I was unable to return for a couple of years due to other commitments, but in 2021 I planned on going back but due to lockdowns couldn’t get a visa from the US embassy in London… so Camp America went to incredible efforts to send a large number of participants to Mexico City for 2 weeks so we could get our visas at the US embassy there! Couldn’t be more thankful for the effort they put into saving all our summer plans. I then returned again in 2022 and am headed back this summer. I have a great time at the day camp I work at, with unbelievably good pay (low 5 digits for each summer I’ve been a returner). Camp America do a fantastic job of guiding you through the application, placement and visa processes and are on hand to call or email for any questions. I literally cannot recommend the whole experience enough, if you can, do it!

I go to this camp almost every year and it's a home away from home. this summer I am going back to sangamon
