What is Camp America? The Company Established in , we've been recruiting international summer camp staff for a long time. Read More. Child Protection We put child protection and safeguarding at the heart of everything we do. Camp America is an opportunity like no other! You're in good hands Meal times in American summer camps are a whole different kettle of fish! Aside from the prayers sung at the beginning and end of meals, children are encouraged to be raucous during their dinner hour!

The children were often found playing games, the purpose of which were to determine who cleared the dirty dishes after the meal. At meal times I also got a taste of the American tradition of cheerleading. Children would stand on their chairs and cheer a rhyme at a group of children across the other side of the dining hall. The second set of children would then respond with yet another rhyme and this would continue throughout the course of the lunch period. Teaching drama I had great fun teaching children aged drama at camp.

The chance to teach drama to such a vast age range meant that I acquired a whole range of skills that look great on my c. I had to construct age appropriate lesson plans myself. By trial and error I learnt what activities worked with children of different age ranges.

This was great fun but also a lot of hard work. The best thing about Camp America is that they sort out your visa, which means as well as being able to work you can travel for an extensive period of time after camp.

I travelled to New York City with many of these people after camp and I am in still in contact with many of them to this day. There are many reasonably priced youth hostels in the USA. Hostels are the best places to stay as you get to meet other young like-minded, jet-setting people just like yourself.

I stayed in a New York hostel called Jazz on the Park, which was very reasonably priced and held free jazz concerts in the evening.

At the hostel I ran in to many other students and young people who had been part of the Camp America programme at various other summer camps across the country. Breaks are few and far between and I was expected to give up my rest hours to hold auditions and run rehearsal sessions. Camp America is recognised worldwide and provides you with lifelong skills that will boost your CV like no other!

Confidence, responsibility and personal development are just a few! It has made me see the world from a completely different perspective. Your choice regarding cookies on this site We use cookies to optimise site functionality and give you the best possible experience. Accept Cookie Preferences.
