USA Summer Camp Reviews 194

The people at USA summers camps are all really kind and effecient. They never failed to call and check up on my application or provide any help that was needed for my application process. I would really recommend anyone looking to work travel and work in the USA at a summer camp to do so through USA summer camps

My experience with summer camp USA was excellent, their staff are helpful and really kind.

USA Summer Camp have been so helpful. The staff are so friendly and kind. They answered any questions that I had very quickly and gave me some very good tips and advice. I have just been placed in a camp for next summer and I am very excited! I would definitely recommend USA summer camp to anyone looking to go to a camp next year, they make the process so quick and easy!

The friendliest people I have ever met ..always quick to attend to my questions ..honest the best service

Amazing support through out the year, giving clear step by step guidance and instructions. They have shown their care and support to me personally a number of times. Would absolutely recommend. Amazing customer service.

Top!
I asked a lot of questions, probably too much questions, but they always answered and helped me.
Hope everything will be fine in America.
Thanks again.

Very helpful people on the phone, always checked up every few days with reminders and help to move the J1 process forward. Would recommend 👍

I used this company in 2022 to head out to a camp in Chicago, and have nothing but good things to say. The girls working there were so helpful with any and all questions I had, with prompt replies on WhatsApp and through email. They were very quick to resolve any issues that popped up. They always stayed in contact with me, giving regular updates as this was during covid and restrictions were slowly lifting.

From the moment I walked into the office the girls made the process easy and less daunting. Their help and advice was invaluable and I doubt I would have gone through the process without their help. Thanks to the girls in the office I found my camp first time with little to no hassle at all. If you are thinking about doing camp America definitely call into the office you will not regret it.

USA Summer Camp are a fantastic agency! Heading out for my 2nd summer at camp this week. They make the process so simple and stress free! Laura, Lauren and Jade have been incredibly helpful. I highly recommend them.

USA Summer Camp are an incredible agency! This summer will be my 5th summer heading out to camp and each year they make the process so smooth and stress free. The help from Laura, Jade and Abbie was great, always there to answer any questions I had. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

The overall experience was great, everything has been a easy process and always there when I need help

Very freindly , very informative and most importantly any issues had they resolve them quick and tell you exactly what you need to do

The team at usasummercamp Ireland are really helpful and prompt with replies to any questions. The WhatsApp communication with the team is great and they can be called if needed.

Not too pleased with this company overall. I applied under the impression and their word that they have hundreds of camps in almost every state and when it came down to applying for camps I could only register my interest but none of the camps ever got back to me. Instead my application kept getting put on hold by camps I wasnt interested in and due to this no other camp could see my application. When I outlined my concern they encouraged me to go to each interview even if I wasnt interested in going to the camp and when I did that I got a job I wasnt interested in and had absolutely no say in whether I accepted the offer or not. As soon as i got the job my visa paperwork was already being processed at which point I had messaged them asking how to decline this and they kept avoiding my questions and repeating themselves. In the end I had no choice but to go through with this offer and was then told that if I opt out of camp I will owe them money for not going/ leaving early.
In my experience you do not really get a choice in where you are placed and if you have an issue, dont count on them to help you.
There are also a lot of hidden fees along the way, 500 to the agency, 175 for the embassy appointment, 75 and another 50 for documents, all this they dont tell you prior to applying.

This was my first time looking into working in a US summer camp traveling from Ireland, they made the process really stress free, they would answer WhatsApp messages every working day and would be available for phone calls at short notice. Somedays they would respond to messages late but were usually very reliable. Compared to other US camp recruitment companies they may be more expensive costing about 525 euros total, but make the process much easier for a first timer. They send regular emails to ensure you are progressing through your application to allow you to get your VISA very quickly. Would definitely recommend to a first timer looking to work at a US camp but with no idea where to start.

USA Summer Camp has been really great in helping with the whole process. I haven't been to camp yet (it is a month away) but USA SC have always been very easy to contact and responsive. Despite me arriving later than basically all other participants due to exams, USA SC allowed me to participate and I was able to get hired doing my dream job (equestrian). I had tried with other agencies and was not allowed but was able to take the risk with USA SC and I'm so glad I did.

- I will say if you think that will be you, do apply early as this will increase your chances.

For a 17 year old applying for my VISA for the first time, the process was a bit complicated at moments, and it was so useful having USA SC to help guide me. Emails were frequent and informative, and even a month before departure USA SC have been sending me reminders before flying (eg. important forms to bring on your flight).

Word of caution: I have to say the placement will be more expensive than you will think- expect to earn back around the same amount you put in. (This is because of the flight, VISA application fees, VISA appt, USA SC fees, police check with ACRO etc.) That being said, I am finalising my plans for 2025 and hope that if this summer is good I will do it again next year, using USA SC again.

Shoutout to Danielle for dealing with my questions ;)

Very patient and helpful, they were so understanding of delays and did a brilliant job at placing me with a camp so quickly.
Would recommend to anyone looking to attend camp, the only drawback I can think of is there are a few hidden fees but they’re not through iena.
