Frequently asked questions
What's included in the price?
The placement price includes a range of different summer camp inclusions, as detailed just above. As you go through the process, we help facilitate your placement and the complete support from start to finish, including all your U.S. embassy documentation.
How does spreading the costs work?
Spreading the cost is like our version of Klarna or Clearpay. You can reserve your initial place with a deposit, which allows us to begin the processing. From here, the remaining fee is split out over another 3 instalments (although this can be amended to best suit your situation; just speak to our team).
Can I work additional days after the minimum contract has ended?
In certain summer camps, yes you can! Depending on where you're based, camps more offer 'after camp' (may also be known as post camp or family camp). This is where summer camps open for a week or two to families who are considering sending their kids. Psst, it's a great way to earn some extra cash!
Are there any additional fees?
Yes, there are a few additional fees, which we've documented above. These are often out of our control, such as fees directly to the U.S. embassy for example. Flights is also another option, as these can vary from person to person.

It was the best and most supportive agency to go through. When I heard stories from my colleagues of their experiences with other agencies I was so grateful I went with camp leaders. I will 100% go through them again
