[@charplatt-miller3966]

This video honestly gave me confidence for interviews in general, not just camp interviews! I love what you said about how you are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you. In the end, this is your job, and you want to be happy! I can't wait for more content to help me decide if camp is something I'd want to do!

Regarding the roles at camp can you be purely a counsellors that takes kids to activities but doesn’t lead them ?

[@victoriawhitehouse704]

@@willdavis6504 yes! That would be a general counselor!

Is it almost impossible to get the specific camp you want or if you have the right past experience/resume, will it be easier, is there any part of the application process or interview process were you get to say a specific camp?

[@victoriawhitehouse704]

@@Coryod1909 it’s not impossible at all no! You can apply direct to camps on their website, I’d definitely advise doing this if you’ve found one that interests you! If you’re hired then that camp can direct you to finding a visa sponsor!

@ thank you so much for the reply, your videos have been a great help🙌

How do I find different camps to research? I don't know the names of any camps so I don't know where to start:)

[@victoriawhitehouse704]

@@sammckee5818 are you signed up with an agency? A big way to research is through your agency hiring pool. Or simply just google summer camps in … and pick a state in America!

I can't start until 22 June and I thought it would be fine but my agency is saying it is a bit late to start? I haven't heard from any camps yet and it's been a week-ish so not sure if I should be worried haha

[@victoriawhitehouse704]

@@ciaraw8782 are all the camps you’re reaching out to starting after June 22nd?? A lot of camps do tend to start mid June but I’d definitely see what your agency recommends and if they have any camps that they know of that start late enough for you!

I’ve had my application live for a few weeks now and nothing so far..should I be worried ?

[@victoriawhitehouse704]

How long does it usually take to get an interview of a camp once you’ve finished your application?
