The American Summer Camp Tradition

• Began in 1861. There are now more than 12,000 summer camps across the USA catering to over 20 million children annually.
• Camps are set amidst some of the country’s most beautiful and serene landscapes
• Camps offer campers from all backgrounds, the opportunity to learn valuable life skills in a nurturing environment.
• Camp facilities often include lakes, pools, sports fields, creative/performing arts, ropes courses, horseback riding programs, and a whole lot more! There is literally something for everyone!

Summer camp work is demanding, but the rewards are endless. Your role at camp will require you to:

• Be an ambassador for your country.
• Be a role model to campers and peers
• Be active and keep a positive attitude at all times
• Be outgoing and eager to share your skills and experience with others
• Provide a safe and fun environment for the campers
