The saviour of summer jobs since 1959, get the ultimate summer job abroad with the camp experts. Earn $$, make a difference and explore America.
USIT has one of the highest first-time salaries and lowest program fees Book Camp USA
Here's the pitch
There are two lots of people in the work abroad world. The people who’ve been to camp, and the people who need to sign up immediately for camp. Ask anyone who’s been (AKA, all our Camp USA team) and they’ll tell you it’s their happy place. Like one big happy family – where you make lifelong friends and return year after year to spend the summer working and travelling together. (Yep, sounds a lot like our family gatherings... *lies through teeth and curled up egg sandwiches*).
Earn money
With one of the highest first-time summer camp salaries (minimum USD $2,000) and meals and accommodation included at camp, a summer working as a Camp Counsellor or Activity Specialist will fund your summer living in America.
Make a difference
People often leave camp wondering who helped who. As an older sibling, role model and impromptu talent show costume maker – you'll directly impact the lives of your campers. While also getting a CV crash course in leadership skills.
Explore America
Camp is a great way to travel and see more of the world – without having to take a year out or use up a working holiday visa. You’ll get 30 days at the end of your America visa to let your beach hair down and travel around the States.
