Training & Internship Visa Programs

International camp counselors develop valuable skills and provide rich experiences for many young people across the world, opening them up to a community and culture that we all cherish and value. To draw upon and further develop this amazing resource, Camp Leaders is now offering Training and Internship Programs as avenues for additional growth and development. These new programs allow camps to further promote cultural exchange through practical career development, while providing valuable opportunities to qualified international students and young professionals through the J-1 Training/Intern Exchange Visitor Visa.

Become one of the growing number of camps benefiting from hosting a well educated and motivated international Trainee / Intern. You can offer a Trainee / Intern the opportunity to gain practical knowledge in their specific professional field of interest, while building an international and multi-cultural climate at your camp.

Trainees / Interns are expected to learn through different methods employed by your individual business practices. At the same time the Trainee / Intern can bring a perspective to your camp that may be new and fresh to your way of operating. Hosting an international Trainee / Intern is a rewarding experience for both the camp and for the Intern.
