[@km_wr13]

Your dad is such a vibe “it’s costing me a fortune to get rid of my eldest daughter” 😂

[@MillieElizabeth]

Honestly don’t encourage him 😤 the man’s ego will grow! 🤣

[@tobi8728]

this is so awesome to see people experience because i’m a camp counselor who’s grown up at camp and it’s so fun that everyone gets to experience it

[@MillieElizabeth]

One of the old timers!! Luckyyyy

[@TalhaMohsin]

Hi there, I would like to join this fun camp next year. How can I contact you or is there any possible way to join this incredible summer camp? I'm not from America. Thanks 😊

[@Lily-loopsy]

I’m going this year and I’m so excited but I’m such a homebody so I relate to this so much 😭 I’m going to be sobbing when I leave. I’m also a very social awkward person so it’s going to be a lot but I’m so so so excited ‼️‼️

[@MillieElizabeth]

You’ll have the best time ever once you get there trust me! I’m so excited for you to be going for the first time ahhhh

[@zoezielinski3797]

OMG! Can't wait to meet you!

[@learnitsignitltd]

This looks like so much fun, I think Im going to give it a go and do it.

[@MillieElizabeth]

Yesssss, totally do! I tell everyone that if they have the opportunity that they should do it!

[@SimplyHollytv]

I just searched Camp America Vlogs and yours was the first one to come up then I read your hoodie and was like what is the University of Salford which is the uni I go to, so so random but I just found it amusing because I am going to camp and also barely see Salford uni in any videos

[@MillieElizabeth]

Baha right there’s literally never any vlogs from salford! Which camp are you going to?? You’ll have sm fun!!

[@SimplyHollytv]

@@MillieElizabeth I’m going to Tyler Hill Camp

[@LordPamk]

I will hopefully go this year so it's fun to see the experience and how it goes in the camps, great video👍

[@MillieElizabeth]

Omg I hope you make the most of your summer and really enjoy it, I would love to re do my first year!

[@lucyroffey05]

at the beginning im so glad you included the tearful goodbye so ik im not the only one who'd be sobbing all the way to america.

[@adamcohen1570]

this unlocked way too many memories. big up Pinemere ❤️

[@MillieElizabeth]

The question is have you seen your feature in the new vid?

[@SAM55548]

I am from Australia we don’t have American camp like that I will love to comes to America one day and work over there but you guys still doing it’s

[@hangracethorn]

I may do it next year or so. Do you have any advice on what to bring there in your suitcase (like must haves) x

[@MillieElizabeth]

Yesss, I’m gonna do a packing video this year to show what you’ll need and actually use (now that I know lol)

[@michaelcollins5308]

so I have been offered a place at a camp however I'm not sure about the camp would you reccomend getting in touch with other camps to view your camp america profile?

[@dud8905]

What did you do in the end?

[@na_yobi]

I absolutely love seeing this! I’m going to camp to as a councelor/specialist in the drama department and am super hyped!! Thanks for sharing your adventure🥰

[@remziebradford1136]

What camp are you going to? I’ve put myself down to do drama too but I’ve only just applied so I’m waiting for camps to get in touch 😅☺️

[@na_yobi]

@@remziebradford1136 I’m gonna go to Lake of the Woods in Decatur, Illinois! I’ve applied pretty early tho haha

[@MillieElizabeth]

Have the best time ever and take every opportunity that comes to you!

[@na_yobi]

@@MillieElizabeth thank you so much! I definitely will!!💕

[@larniebrown5301]

@@na_yobi I want to become a camp counselor sooo bad I have not the slightest clue about how to apply how do you get in touch with the camps?!?! ❤❤

[@Al-id8mh]

did you travel alone or did u have some travel buddies with you? i want to go next year but im kinda scared to go alone since ive never travelled alone

[@MillieElizabeth]

I went a mix of solo and with people but mainly solo, sometimes it was scary but I managed and I think it was the best thing I ever did because I grew so much as a person! It pushes your boundaries and it’s the most insane experience I would 100% recommend

[@hollssfilm]

Im applying for next year, ive wanted to do it for a long time but im very upset about leaving my bf for so long :(

[@hansistinki7785]

How Long is it usually? 8 weeks?

[@holliefilms]

@@hansistinki7785 no 3 months

[@JannahMa]

Hey same im applying for next year!

[@asiab1931]

Can I ask about the application / interview process?

[@MillieElizabeth]

Go for it, what do you wanna know?

[@BayleyHill]

i have a question, it says it’s a jewish camp would that mean i’d have to be jewish/support the religion because i love this camp and not many i’ve seen have performing arts sectors but i’m not religious

[@MillieElizabeth]

Depends on the camp but for the majority absolutely not! I was really nervous about this too, it was my biggest hold up about choosing Pinemere actually because I’m so un-religious and I knew nothing about the Jewish faith but going to a Jewish camp was amazing. I learnt so much about a different culture in a way I’d never have been able to and I also grew to appreciate the meaning of religion overall and how it can help people. I’d say go for it!

[@BayleyHill]

@@MillieElizabeth oh that’s perfect thank you! x

[@rubymcilvaney4922]

are you not allowed phones?xx

[@MillieElizabeth]

Not at my camp, there’s a counsellor lounge with lockers to keep them in but I love it, I feel sm more connected with the people around me!

[@xk_may]

were any of the staff from america? or were you all there with camp america :)

[@xk_may]

and did you stay at the same camp you trained at with all the same people?

[@bluejeanswhiteshirt9481]

i know you were asking her but i’ll answer from my experience. i worked at a pretty similar camp, and a lot of the staff was from america. (im from spain). also yes, the people i trained with with worked at the same place as me. at the end of the day that’s just my experience maybe she’ll see your comment now that I’ve replied.

[@MillieElizabeth]

Yeah it’s a lot of Americans who’ve grown up at that camp and then half international. We train at the camp you stay and work at!

[@a5tria]

oml haven’t heard golden boy since i think 2015 eurovision damn

[@MillieElizabeth]

I’m obsessed with it Baha

[@jasminjetzlaff9763]

Hello I have a question what Camp were you in?

[@MillieElizabeth]

I went to Pinemere Camp!

[@Livstubbings]

I’m going to do camp America in 4 years when I will be old enough, I’m from Australia btw

[@memesmorales2499]

how old do u have to be

[@MillieElizabeth]

18 for most camps, sometimes slightly older

[@tj-nf6dm]

were there any aussies there?

[@MillieElizabeth]

Absolutely, we are quite a small camp in terms of staff so there were only 4 but i loved all the Aussies they were sm fun to work with

[@romyaladjem7116]

That’s perfect ❤❤❤❤

[@MillieElizabeth]

🧡🧡

[@maddiebowsher]

hi!! were there any 18 year old campers?

[@tj-nf6dm]

i think ages are max 16 years old

[@MillieElizabeth]

No, campers are all under 18 and then counsellors are all 18+

[@abigailclaire-panton6340]

Not me seeing the Lando hat Sam is wearing in the video

[@mynameismila]

what did you wear for shabbat?

[@mynameismila]

also re you gluten free? how did you feel eating at camp/ on days off

[@MillieElizabeth]

I honestly wore the same white t shirt and beige shorts for like 9 weeks straight lmao but some people go full out with their outfits. I would say it’s usually pretty casual with people in shorts or skirts and a t shirt or a vest top!

[@MillieElizabeth]

Camp food was amazing for GF I knew it would be safe all the time and I was happy about it all, eating off camp I actually found so difficult, everything in America is so pricey and I felt like there were no options for me but I managed to get by. I defo found myself eating either lots of fries or lots of fruit so not the healthiest of diets but 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@karimsaldana7791]

I miss you Millo’mills 🤍

[@MillieElizabeth]

🧡🧡 see you soon!!!
