Ask us – you’d be surprised what camps are looking for!
700+ Summer Camps across America
With more than 700 partner camps all over the USA, your J-1 summer could take you anywhere. We work with Private Camps, Day Camps, Special Needs Camps, Girl Scout Camps, and more – so there’s something for everyone. Wherever you end up, you’ll experience an authentic all-American J-1 summer camp adventure.
Earn more on your J-1 summer
We believe your hard work deserves fair pay – that’s why we offer some of the highest salaries of any J-1 summer programme in Ireland. You could earn over $2,300 for the summer, with all food and accommodation included.
