To save yourself a place on Camp Leaders, all you need to do is pay your deposit.
Your interview will be a fairly relaxed chat with one of our friendly National Team interviewers, who've all been to camp themselves.
At this stage, new areas of your application will open up. We'll ask more about your work experience and any skills you might want to teach at camp.
Once your application and profile is complete it will go live to our camp partners. If they like the look of your profile they will approach you for an interview.
If there's a match after your interview the camp will offer you a placement. The moment you've been waiting for... you've found your camp; you're going to America!
