There's a summer camp job for everyone, no matter what your skills and interests are.
General Counselor Roles These do-it-all camp counselors spend their days hanging out with their small group of campers. They have the closest contact with the campers, and make a direct impact on the success of their summer.
Activity Specialist Roles If you're passionate about a specific summer camp activity, you'll be a great fit as an activity specialist. These roles vary greatly, so check to see if there's an activity at camp that might suit you well.
Support Staff These staff members might live behind the scenes at summer camp, but they can be the difference between a good summer and a great one. Roles include kitchen staff, security, maintenance, office work, and more.
Roles can vary in each program, and often even by summer camp. It's worth looking into the many different types of roles on the specific program you're interested in.
There are so many reasons why working at a summer camp next summer will benefit you. They include:
Summer camp dates can vary depending on which country/summer camp you place at.

Summer Camps in America with Camp Leaders
Rather than have hundreds of applications piled on their desks, camp directors trust summer camp agencies to find them awesome new staff members for the season. Agencies:
Agencies have access to camps across each country they work in, so they'll make sure you're placed at a camp that will suit your skills, experience, and personality. Through our application process, we will make sure that we get to know the 'real' you, along with your goals, hobbies and passions. Summer camps are looking for energetic, passionate staff to take on and train up. This means you have access to hundreds, or even thousands, of summer camp jobs that suit you.
When booking your own flights sometimes you can find a slightly better deal if you book early. Our expert team have all been to camp and have numerous years experience in helping people find the ideal flight, meaning not only will you get to where you need to at the right time, but you'll save a pretty penny too.
Potentially the most important factor for any work and traveller, summer camp agencies provide 24/7 in-country support while you're overseas. Established agencies will have offices in the country they're sending you to, so they'll be there for you if anything happens at Immigration when you're trying to enter the country, or if you encounter any challenges or need any support at camp. The unequalled level of support makes summer camp jobs abroad one of the safest work and travel options.
A good summer camp agency will provide access to moderated social platforms. Helpful past participants are often active in these groups, so you'll be able to ask them about any questions you have. Social media is also a great way to make friends before camp, as you'll find other people going to the same place you are. Each year, participants get a head start on camp by meeting new friends, and planning after-camp travel and weekend excursions together.
To work at summer camp in America (the most popular summer camp destination) you're required to have a J1 visa. The only way to get one of these is to go through a sponsor. Agencies either sponsor you directly or work closely with sponsors in the USA to provide you with the visa. Important to note is there's no difference between an agency who is a sponsor or works with one. In other countries around the world the visa process works a little differently but in most cases you will need some kind of visa or work permit to work at a summer camp abroad.
We want you to have the best summer camp experience possible, so we want to place you in the best summer camp role! From phone calls, to interviews and prep days, we ensure we get to know you and that you get to know about summer camp. By knowing your hobbies, passions and pastimes, we can link you with the summer camp where you can have the greatest impact, doing something you love. You'll be departing fully prepared, so you can focus on having an incredible summer.
