First Timer Costs
If you’re brand new to Camp Kitchen USA, we can help you find a summer camp kitchen job placement. As part of your placement, you’ll get all your food and accommodation provided on camp, full 24/7 support in the USA, J-1 visa sponsorship and the opportunity to earn up to $2150 in pocket money from camp. You may even be able to get your flight cost included too. All payments to us and any third parties are split out into manageable chunks as you progress through the application, so you’ll never have to pay a big up-front cost. The earlier you apply the better!

Returner Costs
One of the biggest benefits to coming back to Camp Kitchen USA as a returner is the opportunity to earn more. By returning to the same camp, you’ll be able to negotiate your pay directly with your camp director or, if you fancy something new, we can help you find a new camp placement. Whatever you decide, you’ll still receive all the same great benefits of attending camp with Camp Kitchen USA, with payments to us and third parties split into manageable chunks so you don’t have to pay any large up-front costs. Apply early and you may also benefit from a reduced early bird price!

Real experiences
Don't 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.
There is so much I can say about camp. I loved every minute! I gained so many beautiful friends from foreign countries, and so many amazing memories that will stay with me forever.
Going to camp and getting to travel around the states has been the best thing I’ve ever done! The people I met I now consider some of my closest friends. I will always recommend Camp America.
The Camp Experience was a great way to travel and meet people. There was over 40% international staff at my camp so I got to meet people from all over the world, as well as travelling to America for the first time.
Working at camp and the whole experience of going to the USA was amazing. I had the opportunity to meet many interesting people, learn about American culture and improve my language skills.
Camp America gave me the opportunity to make my biggest dream come true. I had a chance to live in the USA like a local and feel that vibe everyday - it’s something noone can take away from me.
I made friends who I keep in touch with all the time and we visit each other (even though they live in Mexico - not an obstacle for us). This summer I am returning to the camp for the third time.
