Renee Fielder (Australia) - 2010, Agency, Co-ed Summer Camp

"From day one there was never any problem getting my information off Camp Leaders in reference to my camp application for summer camp. I was one of the most annoying people to have as a customer too, I had put everything off to the last minute but Camp Leaders still managed to get me on my flight and into the best camp experience I could have ever asked for... The people at summer camp were more than I could have hoped for. They made me feel so welcome, as if I had found a home away from home. The children I got to interact with on a day to day basis were just amazing, and the other councillors were some of the best people I have ever met... most, if not all of them I will remain friends with forever. What an amazing experience... Thank you so much for all of your help."

Alexander Jackson (England) - 2011, Special Needs Summer Camp

"More than any other event in my life, summer camp has changed me as a person forever. Working in the States has lead to a new career path at university, involved me in new sports and hobbies as well as giving me future job opportunities that I would never have previously dreamt of. Camp Leaders have accommodated my every need; when I first applied I was travelling in Thailand and they even offered to interview me by skype in my own time! They have been supportive and helpful in my every request, I could not have asked for more! Go to summer camp for a summer abroad, it will be the best decision you ever make."

Jacek Zamojski (Poland) - 2011, Christian Summer Camp

"I worked in the kitchen and, hard work as it was, I found it an inspiring, life-changing experience. Meeting and making friends with people from all over the world, finding myself in a totally different surrounding than what I have at home was the adventure that I will never forget. Travelling across the US was no less of an exciting and fun time. Combining all the above with an incredible support from the Camp Leaders office makes me want to come back to my summer camp year after year but, more importantly, I want to share the experience that I had and that's why I recommend it everyone."

Juan Sebastian Baron (Colombia) - 2010, Jewish Summer Camp

"Summer camp really changes people's lives. And that´s what happened to me. Camp Leaders helped me to have a work experience in America and being a camp counselor was the best choice I could ever make. I lived one of the best summer of my entire life, I met amazing people from all over the world and I got the chance to share a bit of my country and my culture with campers and my co counselors. Now, in a little town at Northern Illinois, a bunch of people knows how to dance salsa and vallenato, move their hips like Shakira and smile every day as we do."
