The American Summer Camp Tradition

As children, many of us have enjoyed some form of camping experience, from sleeping in a tent in the yard to camping with our family on holidays. However, the American summer camp experience takes camping to a new level.

The American Summer Camp Tradition started in 1861, and today over 12,000 summer camps cater to more than 10 million children. These camps generally exist in beautiful, rural areas, typically including a lake or pool. They offer amenities such as large sports fields, cabins, dining halls, creative/performing arts facilities, camp fires and a whole lot more. These camps cater to children from all economic backgrounds, religious faiths and physical abilities. All camps have one goal in common: to provide a safe, rewarding and positive experience for their campers.

Hard Work That's Lots of Fun

Camp Counselors USA places you at a summer camp that matches your personality, skills and interests. When your camp assignment ends, you are free to travel independently in the USA for up to 30 days before you return home. Why not hike the Grand Canyon, sunbathe in California or Florida or climb to the top of the Statue of Liberty? The CCUSA program is an ideal way to gain international work experience, make many new friends and have the Best Summer of Your Life!
