My *brutally honest* Camp America Experience 2022! ADIVCE + TIPS!

[@martinbeek255]

Well described. Of course I know your camp. This would be a good video for new counsellors. I'm up there today!

[@coralhughes1920]

Did you have general counsellors at your camp? Were they able to take part in the activities with the kids they were watching over?

[@yusufbaraky1781]

Hi, great to hear you had so much fun! I was wondering though what the average age of all the camp counsellors is. I'm considering applying and doing this program during my gap year but I'm scared I'll find it hard to make friends if I'm the only 19 year old there.

[@jameliabrown7445]

Hey! counsellors were aged between 18-25 at my camp with the average age being 19-20 but honestly age wasn’t a factor at all it was never brought up. i was 21 and all my closest friends were between 18 to 23 x

Hi, how easy do you think it is to get hired to camp america? what was your specific role?

[@oscarconey2481]

Do you have to teach anything in order to become a general counsellor?

[@lexinemasuku7474]

Did you have past experience with kids and do you need that experience?

[@jameliabrown7445]

i’ve had experience working with kids before but i know loads of people from my camp that didn’t and still got hired! as long as your enthusiastic you’ll be fine x

[@marlabrown4755]

I was just wondering what evidence you took to your visa interview to prove that you were coming back to the UK? I finished uni but I don't have a permanent job so I'm not sure what evidence to take x

[@jameliabrown7445]

they actually didn’t ask for anything and no one i know got asked either! but i took proof of my phone contract which was over a year and my car info xx

[@marlabrown4755]
