Camp America 2015?

Does anyone know if you need to completely finish your application before you have an interview? I have the orange bar across the top that says I have completed enough but I don't know if I should select an interviewer now or wait until it is 100% complete???

You can put your own leaving date; It depends on the camp rather than Camp America, Some camps may allow you to come in as a late start and some may not even start by then!!

I know people who have left on like the 21st and stuff so it should be okay

I've done some research on the camps in America and in all honesty I think Americamp is the best. While you have to pay for you flights you get special student offers which help towards it and you get more pay which when worked out you make rather than lose out on money.

I've also gone with americamp and I am now waiting to be placed

I've found Camp Leaders a really good company to apply through. They've been really helpful, given me money back for paying my balance off, and they arranged an interview with a camp director who was visiting the offices in Liverpool (it didn't work out because of the dates) . I'm now on review with another camp and waiting for a skype interview. I'd advise being very specific about your end-dates, a lot of camps have 'post-camp schedules' which they could ask you to stay for (roughly the 20th-30th august) and they get the international staff to man these as the american staff go back to college mid august (when normal camp ends). Think about how long you want to be able to travel after camp! good luck people!

Anyone been accepted into Americamp yet? I'm just waiting to be placed now! Woo!

Americamp seems to be the best option, but your flights aren't included (which could be up to £500 extra!) In that case, in the uncertainty of the flight price, I'd rather go with a well established organisation like Camp America which has your flights paid for at a fixed price. I'm unsure on applying though

What are the flight prices with Camp America?

I really want to apply for Camp America for summer 2015, but my last A2 exam is around about the 20 of June. which is going to be a problem since Camp America requires you to be free from May-June. So, I was thinking about going with the company AmeriCamp because you book your own flights. Therefore you have the option to be more flexible with dates. but the major downside to AmeriCamp is that you have to organise your own way from the airport to the camp. (which could be disastrous)
Is anyone else having this problem? or has anyone been with either company and could offer some advice? Help would be greatly appreciated.
Working in America at a camp is something i have always really wanted to do, and summer 2015 would be the best time for me to do it!

I'm looking I to Americamp too, I've had a few emails and phonecalls from them. The thing about camp America is that it's mostly based on looking for leaders with a desired view in sport...

I am also thinking about applying for a summer camp but I have no child care experience and very little sport experience other than being a keen member of the gym. Is there any point me applying? It seems like an amazing experience and I would to be able to do it. If you think it's worth applying, any tips on how to strengthen my application?

Don't worry its a bit misleading. They DO NOT ask you to be free for all of May/June. On the website they ask you to specify a date in May/June that you will definitely be free from so you could just say june 20th. I have uni exams until the 5th so I selected the next weekend as my earliest departure date and then in theory they can ask for me to leave at any point after that date.

Does anyone know the latest time you can apply for Americamp? I've written most of my starting application, I just need to finish it off and gain the courage to send it - and tell my parents I want to go, ha.
