USIT is proud to share its all-inclusive 2024 Camp USA package, providing the ideal summer experience for young people to make global friends, gain valuable international work experience, and travel the USA.
A special discount is now available for those who book by January 31st and lock in their life-changing summer early, which slashes the programme cost by 25%, from €399 to just €299.
Camp USA is not just another summer camp; it’s a considered introduction to international work experience, tailored for first and second year college students but open to anyone up to the age of 30. The Camp USA package offers a two-month placement as a camp counsellor in the United States, complete with a guaranteed minimum salary of $2,000, food, accommodation, and comprehensive insurance coverage.
Camp USA is a unique blend of fun and personal growth, both for participants and the children they guide. Attendees are carefully matched with camps aligned with their interests—whether in sports, arts, or crafts— and are provided full support by camp staff and fellow counsellors. Participants will have the opportunity to forge enduring friendships with fellow camp counsellors from around the world, like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and beyond. These connections offer a more diverse cultural perspective and a potential international support network for years to come.
Amidst the laughter and excitement, participants also gain valuable skills like teamwork, problem-solving, and organization. These enriching experiences not only contribute to their own development but also make them more competitive in future careers, all while creating unforgettable summer memories for themselves and the children they mentor.
Furthermore, USIT’s programme covers all essential costs, including insurance and the SEVIS fee, thereby offering a hassle-free experience for all participants. As a cherry on top, a parting gift of up to $2,000 helps subsidise any post-camp travel plans. It is the ideal option for Irish youth looking for the USA summer work experience with a stable income and the guarantee of meeting like-minded people from around the world.
Camp USA 2023 participant Kiera Grice, who is preparing to return as a camp counsellor in 2024, commends the programme.
“Being a summer camp counsellor is more than just a job; it’s a life-changing experience that affects both your own life and the lives of the campers. Amazing friendships were made, memories were made, and personal growth was attained over those warm days. It’s a job that develops patience, leadership, and flexibility in you while giving you the chance to inspire young people’s interest and joy. I definitely recommend the program if you’re looking for an adventure that combines enjoyment and personal growth. It’s an adventure of a lifetime,” Kiera said.
USIT makes the payment process straightforward with a flexible payment plan that starts with a modest €49 deposit. Though additional costs like the $185 US Embassy interview fee and local GP fees are not covered, a free police check is available at local Garda stations. The programme is designed to run for 8-10 weeks from early June to early August, making it a viable option even for students with early college commitments.
Interested parties are strongly advised to secure their summer camp placements as soon as possible for the best chance of finding a camp to suit their preferences. For more information or to book your spot for an unparalleled work abroad experience, please visit usit.ie
