CHECK OUT MY NEWEST CAMP VIDEO: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CaC_19vRpeA.html

Can’t deal with the parent trap music in the beginning brooooo

GURLLLLLLLL! THIS. IS. MAGICAL!!! I was one of those people always asking for a what to pack video and you managed to get it up two days before I fly out for my first year at camp! SAHHH CRAZY that the day is almost here. You were definitely a big help at the start of my journey because you were the one who lead me to ccusa and well I wouldn’t be going to my camp if I didn’t have them right! Ahhh this is great! Thank you, thank the universe, have a great summer, you are amazing! ok I think I got my point across! ✌🏽&❤️

I'm heading to camp this year based in Texas" Camp Champions" in really excited

I'M SO PUMPED FOR 2019!!!!!!!

Being a general counselor is great because you get to really bond with your kids. But speciality is also great because you get to meet all types of kids and different campers

I got a camp this year (they’re being really good about keeping everything safe and sanitary) but it’s a special case cause I went to the camp as a kid so applied directly but it means that I’m handling all the travel details (I’m in the UK but have a US passport and the camp is in the US) but it’s been crazy trying to sort out how to fly or if I can even fly in the first place, and doing quarantines on each side and sorting out my UK accommodation while I’m gone (my contract ends in June but my new one doesn’t start till September). I’m super excited though and hope everything goes well- I keep trying to overplan everything and just watching councillors from totally different styles of camps describe their experiences. It’s weird that I’m gonna be caring for kids that aren’t much younger than me (oldest ages will only be 3 yrs younger)

I love how positive your videos are! they always put me in a good mood :)

I'm leaving for my first camp in about two weeks and I am so so so scared but I'm also excited and I'm so thankful that I discovered you and your channel and your tumblr because you're so positive and happy and you're such an inspiration

Yesss!! Leaving for camp (tyler hill) in two weeks for the first time, this video is exactly what I needed! xx

Loving this video ally, thanks for the tips can’t wait to go and be a camp counselor x

OMG, i really wanna be a camp counselor!! Your videos get me so excited. Thanks for sharing! And I hope you have a great time this season! You might don’t know but you encourage lots of people, including me. Love from Brazil. :)

I think a American should makes video like this because they know usually a lot more experience going to camp and are familiar with camp in America

IM PRAYING THAT MY CAMP OPENS THIS YEAR OMG! camp is one of the funnest expierences ive ever had but i couldnt go last year because of the pandemic :(

Ally, stumbled across this video in my little research as I'm going to camp next week. And heard you mention that vegan chocolate for the s'mores and was so surprised as I'm vegan too! What's the food options for vegans at a typical camp like? Did you bring your own little bits of vegan food or anything or could they give you enough vegan food etc

I'm thinking of going to be a Camp Counsellor next year. Super excited but really nervous. Love your channel, your videos are really helpful!

I’m off to Camp Saginaw this year I’m so excited !!!!

im off to camp early June, so I've been through all of my info sessions and meet ups and by far your videos are the most informative and make me feel like I have everything organised, thank you!

i just made a camp counselor packing video for next summer, check it out! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SD_Pz3DoTOU.html

I'm just wondering, from all of the years that you've done camp counselling what is the average date that camp starts/the date you would leave to go to the US from Australia (just an estimate)

hey I'm from melbourne ! I'm going to camp next year. I was wondering of you are too?

I’ve been binge watching your camp videos all day, I had a ccusa member at my college a few days ago and I’m super interested in working with them, I was a bit nervous but your videos have put me completely at ease 🥰

I’m not going to camp but still loved this video!! I would never have picked it but that shade of blue really suits you 💙

Are you planning on going to camp in 2021 summer? And how likely is it that camp will go ahead this year?

Hi Ally! I really want to travel USA when I go to camp this summer but I don't really have friends there. Did you travel with the people you met at camp?

Did you get nights off where you can leave the camp ? What are you day offs like ?

Hi. Lovely video Can you go visit a family member in America like a week before its time for camp?

Oh my gosh! I watched this bc I used to live in Connecticut and I’m going back for camp, what camp did you work at?

Leaving for camp in less then a week!! So thankful for all your videos getting me pumped :) I’m heading to Wisconsin x

what if the camp has no outlets and im scared ill run out of battery and not be able to call y family :(

Yes thank you so much, thinking about camp is the only thing getting me through uni exams! Such great advice, super excited for my first time camp Canada 😊🇨🇦🏞️ xx

Hey Ally. So nice to see you! I wonder about you I do have a life but in my mind I feel like I'm haning on you're next video.The last video was cool ! I hope you take us along for the trip. I think you are good looking girl!!I would be cool if you would say Hi because I would get a buzz from it well Ally PEACE

I’m going to camp mid June for the first time and I’m also going through CCUSA! I’m going to camp Mataponi in Naples,Maine

Currently at camp in PA! love this vid ❤️

I have my first year at camp this year & im so excited!!!! these videos are so helpful 💛

ahh this made me so excited for camp, i leave in just under a month to be a ceramics/arts and crafts counsellor!! im definitely bringing my journal/scrapbook and i think the fairy lights are a great idea so i might steal that ;) thank you so SO much for all your camp videos and i hope you have a absolutely amazing summer!

I'm not sure if you'll see this. But what did you do with your phone? Buy a plan for it? Or use your phone just on wifi and buy a cheap phone. If so, what did you do with the other phone? Buy a sim card that you top up? Or buy a plan for it? Sorry don't know what to do with my phone when I go next month.

girl your outfit is poppin!

This video came at such a perfect time! I literally started packing for camp this morning haha

I volunteer at a smaller camp in Pennsylvania. I see all these videos about nights off at other camps, but at my camp the best we get is hanging out in the mess hall after the campers have gone to bed. Of course, the camp is in the middle of no where and is an hour away from the nearest real town, so there's no reason to leave.

Camp Echo in New York State! Soooooooooooo excited and a bit nervous

leaving soon for my first summer, I heard you say Connecticut and turns out my camp is only a 45 minute drive from yours how weird! Thanks for the tips :D

What do you want to do after camp? Are you gonna work or go to uni? Have fun at camp :)

In my family, we have a navy blue suitcase that we've added a little cream ribbon to the top handle of so we can identify it at baggage claim, and a green suitcase that has a rainbow-coloured strap/belt tied around it.

YOU GOT TO SEE DEH!!!!!! I AM A HUGE FANSEN I AM SO JEALOUS!!!! Also I enjoy your camp series! keep up the amazing vlogging!

I work at a camp in new york called Camp Casowasco, it's on one of the finger lakes and SO beautiful! Watching camp videos gets me so excited for camp to start!!

I'm going to Camp Vega in Maine this summer. Love the video!🔥💞

Yesss! I’ve been waiting for this video! I’m off to camp in less than two weeks, this video helped so much!!! Thanks heaps!! 👍🏼🛫

I’m heading off to Summit Camp and travel in Pennsylvania 🙌🏼🙌🏼 in 18 days!!! So excited

Thanks so much! I always panic about what to pack! Would you be able to do a video about after camp travels and do you know whether it's cheaper to book us to us flights closer to the time or asap? X

Hi!!!! I’m a camper at Camp Fuller in RI. I love it. I always wondered what it was like being a counsellor. I bet it is as fun as being a counsellor. Thanks!

What do you do about the marshmallows? Because obvs the normal kind aren’t veggie? Will I miss out or can you get veggie ones?

Hey Ally! Nervous and excited to be heading off to Camp Pontiac (Copake, New York) from London in 2 days. How long did you travel for after camp? Did you plan this with people you met at camp? Did you budget and find it easy to travel with a certain amount of money? Sorry if you have already covered this! Also I am vegan so I'm looking forward to the different food choices they may have at my camp! Thanks for these videos, great help xo

I’m going to be a camp Counselor this summer in Colorado, it’s called Camp Granite Lake. Summer of 2016 I worked as a support staff in a camp in New York.

Camp Danbee whooooo

Im working at a whole new camp this year. The one that I worked at last year(2018), I had a HORRIBLE experience. But I don’t think it made me not wanna work at a summer camp again. Already my experience with this new camp has been better. I’m optimistic and excited. Btw, what’s the thirft store you go to in New York? P.S. I love your summer camp series.

I am so glad I'm not the only one who is going to be watching Parent Trap before I go to camp this year! I'm going to Camp Laurel South this year and I am beyond excited!!! If anyone else is also going to the same camp - please do let me know!! :D

Is anyone going to camp Wayne in PA? If so comment below :)!

I am going to camp next year! waiting for applications to open!! I am so excited :)

Thank you sooo much for this hahaha I go with CCUSA NZ to New York in 3 weeks!!

Thank you so much for the best information! I leave Monday morning for my first ever trip, flight, and flight alone to my first time being a summer camp counselor in Connecticut !! This is crazy and amazing all at the same time. Even though I’m nervous I’m very excited to experience this journey for the first time ever!

Your bed was beautifully made up in this vid-- I could use some pointers in that department-- good luck at camp!

I'm heading off for my third year as a counsellor at a summer camp in Alberta, Canada in two days!! If you do end up going up north, I highly recommend going to the Canadian National Parks in Alberta and BC, like Waterton Lakes (the most southern) Banff, Jasper, Yoho and Kootney. They are all absolutely breathtaking. Good luck this year and have fun!!

I'm hoping I'll be off to camp next year for the very first time!! I'm counting down to June 1st!! Thank you for the helpful video!! :) :)

Your camp videos just make me so excited for summer camp (40 days left to wait for me). If you make your way to Vancouver (Canada, not Washington), you'll definitely have a tour guide in me (if you're looking for one) to see all the sights/vegan food/amazing nature stuff.

I’m off to work at a camp in NJ in a few weeks (for the first time!) and I can’t wait!! Thanks for the advice as always, Ally xx

Hi Ally, I'm going to camp this year for the first time as a councellor and I can't wait! I love watching your videos about camp because they are so real. I was just wondering what size suitcase yours was - I know American Tourister have about 4 different sizes. Love from the UK❤️
