Frequently asked questions
Anyone who has been a camp counselor before is eligible - whether you went to camp with another agency, you can still return with us at Camp Leaders and get the best deal for you.
Lower fees and higher wages. That's right, you pay less in program fees for your summer travel job and because your camp won't be paying an agency fee, you can negotiate your salary directly with your summer camp in America!
Your camp will pay the $35 SEVIS fee directly to Camp Leaders. They will pay nothing placement/administration fee to Camp Leaders which means you should be paid the same as any American staff member. Boom.
We want to give you the absolute best value, the visa forms needed for support staff are slightly higher than a counselor - which is what is reflected in the price.
We know how much you sacrifice to head back each year and work in America. So, we’ve made it our priority to help make the process as simple and easy as possible. As you already have your job we need less information from you - it's super quick, easy and hassle free.
We have you covered and will provide all the paperwork required. Returners must still attend an appointment at the US Embassy, but we'll be holding group appointments to make this nice & easy for ya'll!
