Applications for 2012 are now open

- 18 by June 1st 2012

- Available to work for a minimum of 9 weeks and until the middle of August
Applying to Camp America couldn’t be easier! Just follow this five step process:
Step 1:
Click apply, register your personal details, complete your application form and upload your photos.
Step 2:
Make your $295 deposit and select a local interviewer from the online list. From there you can either email your interviewer with your availability (if you’re really keen!) or wait for your interviewer to contact you.
Step 3:
Gather up the paperwork you’ll need for interview; including 2 references and the medical disclosure form (if relevant).
Step 4:
After your interview date, log back in to your My Camp America site and complete your ‘Post Interview Application’. This circulates via our online recruitment database and camp directors will see – so make it great! At this stage you should also email us an extended version of your top 5 skills and we can overwrite the character limit you originally had (you can’t extend your skills from your end).
Step 5:
Use the My Camp America site to track the progress of your application and interact with Camp America.
It’s normal not to hear much from us once your application has been completed. From here over 900 camp directors will have access to your application online. Which camp you will be placed at depends on your experiences; camp directors will hire you based on your skills. Camp directors will begin to hire in October 2011 and usually finish hiring their staff by early May 2012. This means the placement process will be short for some, but longer for others.
