FAQs

Where are the summer camps in America?

Camp Leaders work with 500 different summer camps across the whole of America (including at least one in every state bar Hawaii),.

So there’s an incredible amount of variety and scope in where you could be placed.

How much will I get paid for working at summer camp?

How much you get paid can depend on your role, camp, and skillset.

However, we guarantee that everyone will earn a minimum of $1900 after tax, meaning it pays to go with the Leaders.

Can I chose which summer camp I go to?

Summer camps in America will get to see your profile and background and be able to make an offer to you if they believe you’ll be a great fit for their camp.

Once you have interviewed with them, they’ll make a decision on everything combined.

So just focus on making the best impression possible and then you could have a new home for the summer!

This means that you may have the opportunity to work anywhere in the United States, so keep your mind open to new places.

Do I have to have qualifications to work at summer camp?

Qualifications will strengthen your application for summer camp but are not necessary.

If you have a background and passion for a certain activity, you could be the perfect fit for a particular camp.

This is one of the reasons for interviews, as they’ll be able to gauge your personality and how you would fit into their team.

Camps provide full training on the job when you arrive, so they would much rather get the right person!
