Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a Returning Counselor and a Direct Placement?

As a Returning Counselor, you've been to camp on a J1 visa before, and you're heading back through Camp Leaders. You pay only the fee of $395 USD.

As a direct placement, you've never been to camp before, so there are additional costs to getting you ready for Camp in America. On top of this, your camp also pays us an administrative fee. The way this works for each camp is different, so be sure to negotiate your salary with your camp.

When do I need to pay?

You will need to pay in full before your visa paperwork is processed.
