Keep Camp Easy
Since 1969 we’ve sent thousands of Campower 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
I knew it was going to be a good experience, however, it turned out to be an unexpected experience! I met wonderful people from Poland and Hungary, and from the first day had wonderful connection.
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.
