Why work at summer camp in America?

Saving summers from regular jobs at home since 1972, our sibling brand BUNAC is the home of Summer Camp USA. From coaching sports to teaching crafts, turn your passion into a paid job this summer. You’ll get to live in incredible locations, make friends from all over the world, and get the warm and fuzzies from knowing you're doing a job that matters.

Earn money

With one of the lowest program costs, highest first-timer camp salaries (minimum USD $2,300), and meals and accommodation included – working as a Camp Counsellor is a great way to fund your summer in the States.

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 transferrable skills.

Explore America

Camp is a great way to see more of the world – without taking a year out or using up a working holiday visa. You’ll get 30 days before and after your camp job to let your beach hair down and travel around the States.

A North American tradition, each summer children and teens from all over the USA and Canada attend sleepover camps for 1-8 weeks between Jun-Aug. A safe place for them to learn new activities, grow their skills and experience living away from home in the great outdoors – camps are seen as integral to a child’s social, cultural and educational development. Each year, Camp Directors hire 18-30 year olds from all over the world to work as Camp Counsellors, Activity Counsellors and Additional Needs Counsellors.

Summer camp is the opportunity for international students and travellers to experience living and working overseas in incredible wilderness locations. Working as a Camp Counsellor or Activity Specialist, you’ll help to shape the lives of your campers – while also developing your own leadership and problem-solving skills. Great for your resume, bank account and social life – you’ll earn a camp salary, have meals and accommodation included, and make life-long friends from all over the world.
