Step 2: Build your summer camp profile

Your profile is your camp CV – a place to show off your personality, skills, hobbies, and anything that makes you you.

Top tip: Don’t hold back. Whether you’ve coached sports, played guitar, worked with kids, or love drama club – camp directors want to know.

To fast-track your application:

  • Book your informal phone interview
  • Pay your programme deposit
  • Get ready to shine

Step 3: Complete your camp phone interview

This isn’t a scary job interview – it’s a friendly chat about what you’re great at and why you want to work at camp.

We’ll explain:

  • What camp life is really like
  • What kind of roles are available
  • What happens next

You don’t need to be perfect – just be enthusiastic, honest, and open. We’ll take care of the rest.

Step 4: Make your profile shine

Once your interview is done, one of our National Support Team members will help guide you through making your profile irresistible to camps.

Think of it like giving your Insta bio a glow-up – with a few extra details about what makes you a great role model.

The better your profile, the faster you’ll get noticed.

Step 5: Interview with summer camps

Now comes the exciting part: camp interviews!
If a Camp Director likes your profile, they’ll reach out to chat with you directly. These interviews are relaxed and usually done over video call.

It’s your chance to:

  • Ask about the camp
  • Show your enthusiasm
  • Land your dream summer job

Once you’re offered a place – you’re officially going to camp!

Final thoughts: You’re closer than you think

Applying to camp might feel like a big step, but you’re already halfway there. This could be your summer of travel, sunshine, laughter, and life-changing memories.

Camp is more than just a job – it’s an experience you’ll never forget.
