Real Experiences
Don't just take our word for it - this is just a snapshot of the amazing summers our participants have had, and the reasons they keep going back year after year.
Camp America has given me countless opportunities that otherwise would've never been imaginable. The lessons I've learnt, the skills I've acquired and the memories I've made will last a lifetime.
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.
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.
