Which one to choose - Camp America/CCUSA/BUNAC?

Ok, basically I want to spend summer 2009 working in a camp in America. I dont know which company to choose! Anyone got any advice?

Also, how much experience do you need to have in order to be accepted? I have no formal qualifications but I have taken part in a lot of different sports, spent ten weeks on a raleigh international programme in malaysia where i got to teach english and hang out with local kids for three of the weeks, i used to babysit for my little cousin, i went along and helped out at boys brigade for a couple of weeks as my friend was a leader. Are these the sort of things they are looking for?

For now, I'd have a look in the Camp America 2008 thread; as your question has been answered along with lots others that you probably want answers to as well.

Once all this year's troope get back from their respective camps they'll be a whole lot more folk around to give their (most upto date, retrospective) opinion of the company they went with.

We'll get a Camp America 2009 thread properly going in late September.
