That “Rachel Ring" review is basically exactly what happened to me back in June 2012. I had to pay camp leaders £1015.00 due to not completing my contract. I was dismissed by Camp Caribou because, after 4 days, in a nutshell, Camp Caribou staff were incredibly lazy in doing the due diligence and didn't bother even interviewing me, and the dialogue I had was virtually nonexistent as well as their job description or requirements before and after I departed, I remember vividly they didn’t even pick me from the Logan airport on time they showed up 9 hours later. Because I paid the "Admin" fee of around £555.00, I was obligated to attend camp. When I returned to the UK, I didn't hear from camp leaders for about two months, and then they sent an invoice that had to be paid in 14 days, I remember I had to deal with a mouthy individual name Pete Hanbury at some point he argued it was all my fault and I embellished my application.

US camps have a massive labour shortage due to US workers paying huge college tuition fees who would rather obtain a career elsewhere or internship after college. Then work at summer camps.

Camp leaders and the rest of placement agencies have vested interest in placing participants and obtaining their placement fee, that why show up universities job fairs.

Any advice to anyone interested in applying? Don't bother! 

By far the greatest thing I've ever done in my life!! What started out as a 'once in a lifetime opportunity' turned into 5 summers and I would keep going back to camp forever if I could. Camp Leaders were very supportive and helpful the whole time and super friendly.

Staff were really good, they gave me a lot of support and helped me find the right camp. Highly recommend.

Camp leaders have been amazing! Everything is laid out very clearly and whenever I have a question about anything I ring them and they are happy to talk me through it. They have made the whole process so much easier. Thank you!

AMAZING!
Very accommodating, The staff is very friendly and approachable. I was surprised with their customer service, everything went smoothly.
Highly recommend!

Thank you!

Great website, very very helpful and reassuring, walk you through every step and keep in contact with you throughout

Made this experience super easy and stress free. Everyone i’ve talked to is super helpful and friendly. I personally didn’t have any issues at all.

So help, every step was lined out through the application process to getting placed at camp and even on the day of getting my visa help was there if needed, 100% recommend camp leaders, cant wait for this summer!!

Camp leaders has been my pathway to USA and their support has been excellent. Would not have been able to do the paperwork etc without their guidance. Along the way I have made a great friend on their team as he has been superb all the way through these passed years of me going to camp. Big up to Matt on the team 👏 😁
Looking forward to my third term at Camp USA!

The process for being selected for camp via the online selection days was confusing. It wasn't clear how these would work, and having signed up for one, I wasn't sure how being part of the selection day was beneficial - I could only choose 5 camps to be interviewed by, and they were able to decline my application for interview without explanation. There is no way of filtering camps by dates available over the summer, leading to me being offered a place on a camp that started before my university term ended. So for the next recruitment day, I had to trawl through every camp that would be attending, checking their dates one by one. Although I was offered a few camps after the recruitment days, I actually ended up accepting a placement at a camp that contacted me directly, having read my profile. I had other offers come in this way too, so I feel that I needn't have spent so much time organising myself for and attending the recruitment days. However, once a placement was confirmed, I found the support for getting all the admin sorted was excellent. There's a lot to get organised, and the visa application process in particular is complicated - Camp Leaders provided very clear step by step instructions for how to fill in all the forms, and what documents would be needed. The online portal is very easy to navigate and you can see clearly if there are any outstanding actions. Although I haven't yet attended camp (3 weeks to go!) I feel totally prepared and supported

Everyone at camp leaders are vary friendly and would do anything to make your camp expriance more easier and less stressful.

There there website is really easy to use and I found getting response from camps was really easy and easier to communicate.

Although I found when it came to sorting out your legal documents they were quite difficult to get hold off and forget to mention the fine print. Such as you have to choose for your passport to be sent back to you and forgot to appropriate explain what kind of documents you needed to file for your visa.

But where vary helpful and accommodating when things went it a bit wrong. Would highly recommend the use of this service has really helped with my transition to this experience.

The camp leaders program provides exceptional opportunities to people wanting to explore and expand their horizons through travel as well as experience which could prove invaluable moving forward through life. They help you every step of the way, providing simple step by step instructions as well as regular catch-up phone calls to check in with your progress. Going to America alone was never something I could have dreamed of doing at 18 however thanks to camp leaders, I am going to have the summer of a lifetime!

They were great! I started an application just before the pandemic and I’ve had to postpone the application until this year 2024, since day one they have been so accommodating and understanding with my situation. They’ve helped me with every step of the way, and they have always answered my questions (even if I’m calling everyday because I’ve been stressed over a delay).

You will have to weigh up the pros and cons, this agency doesn’t offer flights but they do have an in-depth help plan for your entire application.

People are saying that the agency is expensive, of course it is. I feel people are not understanding that they cover a lot in the application, insurance, camp costs, etc. You’re also paying for the experience.

This agency is great, and a massive thank you to the staff for making everything happen. It’s been a great process so far.

I came to camp leaders having never done this before and their whole process of orientation, regular contact and easy to follow instructions on how to navigate not only getting a US visa but what to do was flawless and incredibly helpful. Megan in particular went above and beyond to help with my application and was a true help. These guys are the best in the business

They made what could be a cumbersome task easier and more pleasant with kind and helpful staff at the end of a phone call, however they were expensive and didn’t cover the flights.

Camp Leaders are always really approachable and made me feel like I was not alone on my journey to camp. Ryan went the extra mile to help me to feel supported and the application process was easy to follow.

Camp leaders has completely changed my life i thought this summer i would be working a 9-5 all summer in ireland but thanks to campleaders i am now heading to new York for the summer of a lifetime and it was super easy as cameaders talk you through step by step how and what to do

If you're looking for clarity, connections and confidence in an agency to work abroad, look no further...
My experience with Camp Leaders has been absolutely excellent. Their support online, email and phone was always prompt and productive. Speaking to people who used other agencies to secure a place at camp, it is obvious to me that I made the right decision.
Camp Leaders' pricing, connections and wealth of knowledge make it THE choice to get you on a summer camp abroad.

The camp leaders team have been so helpful in my visa application, and finding a camp to work at for the summer. They have helped along the way and answer any questions, how obvious they might be! When you call there is always someone picking up and ready to help. Their website is easy to navigate, which is helpful as the process for camp America can be confusing. I would recommend camp leaders to a friend.

This is my second year using camp leaders and everything is made so simple. The application process is so user friendly and staff are so helpful when needed. Huge mention to Erin she has been so helpful throughout.
