Build your career while having the best summer of your life

Think a Summer Camp job is just about sunshine, songs, and s’mores? Think again.
Sure, you’ll have the time of your life – but you’ll also gain real skills, real experience, and real-life credibility that employers love to see.

Camp doesn’t just look good on your CV – it sets you apart from the crowd in job interviews, applications, and your future career path. Here’s why…

You’ve proven you’re committed

Let’s face it – summer camp isn’t a quick click-and-go job. From the application to the flight to your final day, it takes energy and dedication.

Employers love people who take initiative, follow through, and commit to something big.
By completing the camp application process and heading to America for the summer, you’re proving all of that from the start.

You’re organised, reliable and a natural leader

At camp, your days are packed – and you’re in charge of helping a group of kids have their best summer ever.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Keep track of schedules
  • Lead group activities
  • Problem-solve on the fly
  • Show up early and be ready
  • Stay calm when the cabin’s chaotic!

Those are invaluable life and work skills – and they translate directly into any career, whether it’s education, hospitality, marketing, healthcare or beyond.

You can handle culture shock (and thrive!)

Spending a summer living and working in the USA means stepping way outside your comfort zone.

New country. New people. New systems. New slang.
Sound scary? Maybe. But it’s also exciting, eye-opening, and a massive personal growth moment.

Being able to adapt to change, embrace the unknown, and thrive in a new environment is a top soft skill that recruiters want.

You’ll smash the job interview

“Tell us about a time you overcame a challenge…”
“Give an example of when you led a team…”
“Have you ever worked with children or young people?”

After a summer at camp, you’ll have a story for every interview question imaginable.
And not just that – you’ll have the confidence, communication skills, and energy to deliver them in a way that makes employers sit up and listen.

Stand out in a competitive job market

Whether you’re going into teaching, business, creative industries, or healthcare, a summer at camp shows:

  • You’re confident
  • You’re experienced
  • You’ve got emotional intelligence
  • You’ve got resilience
  • You know how to work (and live!) as part of a team

Plus, when you say, “I spent my summer in America leading watersports / running theatre shows / teaching kids how to canoe,” – you’re guaranteed to get noticed.

Camp is more than a summer. It’s a stepping stone.

You’ll leave with:

  • Lifelong friends
  • A bunch of happy memories
  • A CV full of leadership experience
  • And stories that make you stand out in any room

Work doesn’t always feel like work when you love what you’re doing – and camp is the perfect proof.
