Why Camp USA?
Why Camp USA?The summer of a lifetime
Two months working in the sunny outdoors, plus a month of US travel to go wherever the wind takes you. #livingthedream
A job that never feels like work
Get the role you're born to do - where you're appreciated, where you have fun and where your loud voice/ embarrassing laugh is actually encouraged!
The chance to learn new skills
And to remember ones you've forgotten you had. Remember when you were convinced you'd be a world-class actress? You've got the green light to wow on that stage.
Lifelong friends from all over the world
Meet your fellow counsellors from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and more... handy if you ever need a place to crash while travelling!
Craic on tap
We mean banter. Of course. It's an experience fuelled by silliness, by acting like a big kid yourself and by having the time of your life. And actually getting paid for it!
No cash woes
We'll cover your return flights*, your insurance and your Sevis fee. Plus we'll give you a parting gift of up to $1350 to fund that epic road trip.
Where every day is different, but always an adventure
Whether you're leading campfire sing-songs to teaching Tai Chi to being the older sibling a camper never had - we need you. You'll be rewarded with great laughs, fantastic friends and memories that'll stay with you long after summer's over.

What people think about camp
"Being a camp counsellor allows you to act silly without a care, be a positive influence and role model, as well as give guidance for a child's future. You may see qualities in them that no one else sees. You are free to have fun in the sun but also learn more about yourself as a leader." - Colleen
