Picture this…

You’re coaching football on a sun-baked pitch amidst the mountains. The views are unreal, the air is crisp, and the kids you’re teaching are having the time of their lives! Accommodation, and salary are included.

And this…

You’re running a pottery class in the arts cabin, doors thrown open to the lake. There’s a breeze off the water, the smell of fresh clay in the air, and the kids are totally inspired by your creativity!

And this…

You’re sat round the campfire with the campers and your new friends and colleagues. There’s smores, the moon is full in the sky, and everyone’s taking turns to tell their best stories.

Your summer, your way

 People come to camp for all kinds of reasons. Some want adventure. Some want to challenge themselves. Some just know another boring summer won’t cut it. Whatever brought you here – camp delivers more than you bargained for.

Travel

Mountains, lakes, forests and states you’ve only heard of. Finish the season and you’ve got up to 30 days to keep exploring.

Independence

Nobody holds your hand through camp. You’ll make decisions, solve problems and find your feet somewhere completely new. Daunting? A bit. Empowering too.

Work Experience

A summer on your CV most employers have never seen. Camp builds skills that are hard to explain in an interview but impossible to miss in person.

Adventure

Spend your summer doing what you always do. Or waterskiing at sunrise, campfire nights, falling for somewhere new. We know which earns bragging rights!

Confidence

Thousands of miles from home, managing a cabin of kids and figuring it out alone shows you what you’re made of. Most come back quietly surprised.

Friendship

The people you meet at camp come from all over the world, and the friendships you make have a habit of lasting well beyond the summer. Some of the best people you’ll ever meet are waiting for you at camp.

WHAT’S YOUR CAMP THING?

What does it cost?

You can get started with a £49 deposit, that’s all you’ll pay upfront.  The full Camp Connect USA fee is £249 and that’s only due once you’ve secured a camp job.

A paid job in the States, with somewhere to live, three meals a day and a summer you’ll be talking about for years – all for less than most people spend on a festival ticket.

FULL PRICE – £249
