Keep Camp Easy
Since 1969 we’ve sent thousands of J-1 visa participants to hundreds of camps across the USA. Our application process has been tried and tested and improved by your experiences.
Camp America gave me an understanding of responsibility that I hadn’t experienced before. By the time I came home, I’d gained valuable leadership skills to take into future careers.
The application process is so easy and Camp America are there to guide you through it every step of the way. The team are all so helpful.
Spending four summers working at an under-served summer camp has made me grateful in many ways and taught me the importance of creating opportunities for all children.
You join this bubble of people who are extremely caring and supportive, they help you grow as a person and unlock new confidence. I would recommend Camp America to anyone!
Lifeguard training taught me so much and really pushed me out of my comfort zone. The difference between when I started camp and left camp was unimaginable and I am so grateful for the experience.
To anyone considering Camp America, go into it with an open mind and take the opportunity with both hands. It’s an unforgettable experience.
