They will steal your money

Hi Mr. USA Summer Camp! Thanks for your reply to my message below. That was very nice of you. Despite your nice words, I still think you are an absolute scam and are effectively stealing money from young people and promising them placement in a summer camp that will never take place. Why would you do that Mr. Summer Camp? I'm starting to think that you're not a very nice person at all. Kind regards, Dreg Gavis.

My experience of USA Summer Camp

USA Summer Camp is the best organisation ever to help you find a place at camp. From the very beginning when I first signed up for camp they were all very friendly, informative and helpful. I was a bit daunted by the application because it involves a lot of detail but they made the process so much easier for me by guiding me through everything step by step. Niall in particular was a great help and his enthusiasm for camp influenced me so much to want to go myself and put all my fears about stepping out of my comfort zone to rest. I was placed at a great camp very quickly due to USA Summer Camp’s help. I highly recommend them.

DO NOT TRUST THE COMPANY

This company is a money grabbing, thieving business that exploits young people wanting to travel. They do not even deserve the 1 star rating, but unfortunately it won’t let me rate them any lower.

I was 17 years old when I enrolled in this program, in 2019. Unfortunately, my camp closed due to the pandemic. I contacted USA summer camp to request a refund since I hadn’t had my visa, flight etc I didn’t think this would be a problem, as it had not been a problem for all other companies in a similar position, this is when the realisation hit that this in fact is not like any other company, they are a thieving, money grabbing, evil company that take advantage of that fact they are dealing with young adults, so they think they can get away with their dishonest, money grabbing ways.

There response was “as a gesture of good will” they will defer my booking to another year. I am now taking legal action as this is in-fact a breach of contract, I had signed a contract to take part in USA summer camp in 2021, I had not agreed to any other year so deferring my payments is not an option. For a little background story, when I applied for USA summer camp I lived with my parents and had completed my apprenticeship, I was looking at having a few months travel and then coming back to full time employment. So deferring my payments is not an option due to a change in circumstances, I now live on my own, have bills to pay and work a full time job so it is not practice for me, hence why I signed a contract for 2020!!!! I have emailed and called the company several times and have received little to no response.

I would advise everyone to please take legal action, just as I have had to do.

We're sorry you're unhappy. We believed and still do that we do a fantastic job for people. It's tough to get the brunt of the pandemic which has caused so much disruption. Most of our participants understand but we have done our best throughout.

Thanks to USA Summer Camp I have just been placed at an amazing camp for next summer! They were so helpful throughout the whole process, they were always there to answer and questions or queries I had. They check in to see how you are getting on and talk you through the next steps on your journey to camp which I found especially helpful. I couldn’t recommend USA Summer Camp more, they completely took the stress out of getting placed at camp. The staff are so friendly and always willing to help!

Very pleased with my recruiting experience

Applied mid-late 2021 and the interview process began in the November, almost immediately my application had been chosen for interview. CCUSA really helped with interview preparation and connecting us with people who had experienced the process before. A job offer came quickly and I am so happy with the camp and team I have been matched with. Very excited for the summer and so thankful for the CCUSA team for their consistent follow ups and providing a smooth transition from application to employment.
