Camp Counselor
Camp Counselor: a summer working at a U.S. camp
If you have sports, arts or leadership skills with children, an American summer camp is the most accessible entry point into cultural exchange: housing, meals and salary are all included.
Summer camps are an American institution. Every season thousands of families send children aged 8 to 16 outdoors, and camps hire international staff to lead activities.
As a counselor you teach your specialty, so what matters most is not your degree but what you do well and can pass on to a group of children in English.
Everything covered on site
Housing and three meals a day are covered by the camp for the whole season.
Salary with no living costs
With no rent or food to pay, your stipend stays almost intact.
Leadership on your résumé
Leading groups of children is highly valued in education, psychology and sports careers.
Travel time at the end
A grace period after your contract to explore the United States.
