PACK WITH ME + USA SUMMER CAMP Q&A | CCUSA 

yay congrats!! good luck and let me know how you go! :)

Me too! Are you doing USA Summer Camp?

me to!!! really hope we both get picked!

ok

Hey how are you did they place you at a camp for 2021

hey! all camps are different but at my camp everyone is very close and get along really well. In saying that, at the beginning people tend to hang with their friends that they haven't seen for 10 months but as soon as you dive into pre camp orientation its like one big family!

A Sens I am sitting on the bus to camp right now ☺️☺️ I just decided to have a different experience as I didn’t agree with some things at my old camp

hahaha woah well done, honestly I need your organisation techniques! Yeah I think 2 jumpers is a good amount bc you'll accumulate jumpers from general shopping and also from your camp

yay im so excited for you, keep summer camp on your radar for sure, I first heard about it when I was around 15/16 and I'm so glad that I made that dream come true :)

@@jogignac-davies6090 Wow thanks for the good and thorough answer! Always nice to hear good stories. And yea, I still have this plan haha, am a bit closer already 😌

saorlaith rooney hey lovely, excited that you’re going to camp again. Are you from the US or international? If you’re international you’ll have to apply through an agency because they will be your visa sponsor, it’s required for the program ☺️ I don’t think that any camp is better than another, they are all so unique and your agency will find another great match for your personality and skills, good luck! ☺️

im so excited for you!! Which camp are you heading to?

rewatching camps videos heaaaps and also lots of facetimes with my campers and friends :)

at co-ed camps, its about 50/50 but some camps are all male or all female campers but they do still hire the opposite sex for certain specialities and activities :)

Hey girlie, they essentially are providing the same service, which is the J1 Visa sponsorship and guidance to go to camp but I've always gone with CCUSA bc they have the cheapest fees and you get paid more at camp + I've found everyone in the offices SO amazingly helpful with the whole process

@@emilypamio8148 Thanks! I think I'm definitely going to look more into going through CCUSA :) I see that you had a great time at camp and like lots of others aha but there are some people who really find it hard and not the best which is making me a bit on edge about going or not. What are your thoughts x

@@mikaylalarsen2869 i highly recommend going to camp. Your camp experience is influenced by what you make of it, if you put your whole heart into it and make lots of effort to know people, you'll love it :)

Best to check out all your options but I personally love CCUSA in Aus :) all the best!

I was sceptical at the beginning, I have only taken my laptop the past 2 years (not my first summer) and it was so much easier to book stuff and do uni stuff with my laptop, also with so much in-between time while travelling its so convenient. I never worried too much about it, I just always made sure my it was in my suitcase locked up while at camp (even tho camp is so safe) and then for pre and post camp travel I made sure that the backpack that my electronics were in was always locked up with a small padlock :)

@@emilypamio8148 Yea I'm thinking I want my camera for post camp travels :) ! Also would you recommend being a general councillor or a activity specialist

@@mikaylalarsen2869 you don't get to choose which role you have at camp, on your CCUSA application you will pick your hobbies/skills then elaborate on your top 3 skills, from there, once your accepted into the program a camp director will reach out to you with the position they would like for you to work as at camp, it could be any of your top 3 skills or they may ask you to be a general counselor. Both jobs are just as fun and amazing

@@emilypamio8148 OHH I see, cool. Good to know :D Thanks for all the advice ! xx been helpful if I have more questions I will probs DM you if that alright

Mikayla Larsen you’re so welcome! Yes please do, update me on how you go ☺️

yeah it is definitely camp specific. I'm able to bring along a suitcase and a duffle to my camp. Some people take backpacks and some even bring 2 suitcases and then all the suitcases and bags are stored away in a safe space for the summer or you can choose to keep them under your bed.

all camps are different with their phone policy. In my experience, most camps have wifi for their staff to use. At some camps you'll have to keep your phone in a locker all day and you can take it out when you're off duty so that you're always in the moment. Some camps allow you to keep your phone in the bunks but just ask that you don't take it out when you're on duty and to be sensible with phone use :) at most, if not all camps, the campers are not allowed to bring phones.

Sam Petch-Smith in your video it’s best to show your personality and explain briefly why you want to go to camp. Talk about your top skills and include any pictures or videos of you doing/coaching/teaching the skill ☺️

at traditional 7-9 week camps you won't, but you get 5ish days off for the season but a period off each day and nights off after 9:30pm-ish. At day camps, most get weekends off, it really just depends on how many sessions your camp will run, you'll find it all out when you're placed :)

TL Media I sure do, I’ve been 3 times now ☺️

@@emilypamio8148 www.usasummercamp.com/about/ This one? I'm keen to apply for the Horse Riding instructor role

@@tlmedia3953 Oh the agency, I go through CCUSA, I highly recommend them over other agencies :) best of luck
