I am about to binge watch all your camp america videos! I am going this year and I can’t wait :)
Yay!!! You’re going to have the best summer!
Loved this vid! Can’t wait to go back to camp this summer!!
Thankyou!!! I’m literally counting down the days to summer 22 🤍
this has got me sooo excited for next year !
Yay so excited for you!!
I have been placed for 2022 so I'm so excited! I am really nervous though, so thank you for the video! :) My camp is in NY :)
That’s so exciting!! Any questions please ask away!!
This video is sooo helpful but also kind of stressing me out because it made me realise how behind I am haha. I applied in the last week they were taking new applicants so I don’t have a passport right now, all my appointments are after my interview, and I’m supposed to be leaving in two months. I really hope everything works out because it sounds amazing!!! Thank you for making the video, it’s made me feel so excited to go!
Everything will work itself out don’t worry! All I’d say I’d make sure you stay on top of your agency and constantly ask for updates about where your application is at! I would also try applying to some camps direct so you get ahead of other applications!
I'm currently waiting for my interview and this video has helped so much! I am always looking for crazy stuff to push me out of my comfort zone, so I'm excited but also a bit nervous!
Yay I’m so excited!! That means the world to me! You’re going to have the best summer!
Same!! I’m nervous but super excited
Yay I found this video at the perfect time! I’m going to be a camp counselor for the first time in 2022!
Yay!! I’m so glad it’s helped you out 🤍
Omg I’m applying as well !!!!!
@@sashasuhoveiko42 yay!! If you need any help feel free to message me!
I had an interview with Tyler Hill yesterday. It went really well and I love the look of it
Omg no way!! That’s amazing, honestly the best camp ever!!
I’ve submitted my skills, personal profile, references etc just waiting on my interview, fingers crossed it goes smoothly and I get in, awesome video and has got me excited for the summer😁
How’d it go hear anything back??
yay! I am so pleased I have come across this video! I am 18, Scottish and at university, I feel I need something to push me out my comfort zone, really considering going this year to meet new friends! thanks for sharing this! xx
Yay I’m so glad!! If you want to drop me a message over on Instagram I can send you the link for my camp if you wanted to put an application in there! Atleast you’d know me! 🤍
I’m 18 and from Scotland too, thinking of also applying xx
I’m from Scotland n go to uni as well, need a change though for a bit for sure.
hi, this was soooo helpful, thanks for doing this :))
No worries, thanks for watching!
very helpful :) im sorting out my visa rn for it! I'm going to a camp in pensylvannia too next year!
Yay I’m so glad!! You’re going to have the best time! 🤍
I'm going to Tails end camp😮💨
hii! when do you think will be a good time to apply for summer 2023? x
I am applying for camp in the next few days but I am just so unsure what one, I want to go to NY but there's so many! I am hoping I get into one as I have no experience with children ://
Thank you so much for the helpful information I really want to go to America 🇺🇸 so I think this would be a great opportunity.
Thank you for sharing
hii, which camp did you go to with bunac and would you recommend it? x
Thank you this was so helpful! I’m going to apply for a camp in Canada next year. I’ll be 23/24 at camp, I’m worried I’ll feel old as I won’t be a uni student 😂😬
Yay I’m so glad it helped you out!! Honestly don’t feel old, I’m 24 this year and not at uni either 😂
very helpful thank you I am so nervous lol x
I got accepted for a camp for this summer but with Camp Leaders, have you got any tips for someone who is normally shy going to camp? Also you look so much like Lili Reinhart omg
Yay I’m so excited for you!! Honestly just be yourself and done be afraid to put yourself out of your comfort zone! I was super shy my first summer but you feel so settled so quickly and you do feel at home in no time! And omg thanku!!! 🤍
hey girl, thanks for this! Which camps did u go to??
Hey!! My camp is called Tyler hill 🤍
First Like
do they have camps in canada too, my boyfriend lives over there and i think it would be easier for us both.
Yes I’m pretty sure they do a camp Canada!
can I just ask did it complicate things with your agency because you were a direct placement? this doesn't make much sense but did you have to let them know, how did they react etc x
No they actually prefer you to be a direct placement! It’s easier for them and you and it doesn’t complicate things at all, you just call or email them it’s as simple as that x
could u choose to bunk with ur friend?
Hi! How long does it takes to get placed after the interview?
Hi!! It really depends, agency’s are really good at getting you placed super quick. However if I were you I’d research some camps in an area you’d like to work in and reach out to some camps direct!!
@@victoriawhitehouse704 Okay, I will try. Thank you!
If i turn 18 in July and apply now at 17 would I be considered a camp councillor or would I just be staying there because I'm under 18 whilst I'm there?
You wouldn’t be able to apply if you’re not going to be 18 until July x
How did you manage to go with your brother and friend?
I had already been the previous year and camps love when you recommend someone to go! I just dropped my camp director an email to say they had applied and they sorted an interview! You are able to apply to the same camp with someone you know, just no guarantee you will both go to the same one!
Do you have any tips how friends can get to a same camp?
It’s definitely possible!! Just find a camp you both like the look of and apply to it direct x
@@victoriawhitehouse704 thank you so much x
I don’t turn 18 until April 2023, I’m assuming that’s too late to apply then? Would it be better to wait until 2024 which seems like an age away 😩
No you can still apply for next summer! As long as you’ll be 18 by June 1st I think it is then you’re fine! You can still do the application at 17!
@@victoriawhitehouse704 ahhhh no way!!! so there’s a possibility i can have a place at a camp before i even turn 18? i thought i’d have to wait another year 😆
hey, is it easy in geeneral to get placed at camp? also in regards to toilet and washing facilities what are they like?
Its very easy to get placed at a camp, there’s around 12,000 camps in the US! Every bathroom facility will vary depending on the camp, at my camp we have the bathrooms in the bunk!
@@victoriawhitehouse704 thank you would you say best applying early aswell?
@@michaelcollins5308 it’s completely up to you! You can apply as early as September/October to some camps but some won’t start hiring until January time!
@@victoriawhitehouse704 thank you, what was your role on camp? job?
@@michaelcollins5308 I was a gymnastics director last year, this year I’m going to be a division leader!
Hey Victoria, is the salary paid per month, week or fortnight?
Hi! It really depends on your camp, at my camp you got given a debit card that all your salary was paid on to. It worked out that we were paid around every 2 weeks maybe x
@@victoriawhitehouse704 Okay thank you
@@victoriawhitehouse704 soo, was it 2000 dollars every two weeks?
@@isabel2893 noooo that’s the salary for the summer
which agency did you use xx
I went with an agency called bunac!! bunac.org/summer-camp/camp-usa xx
@@victoriawhitehouse704 thank u!!
Hi. Nice video =) I would really like to ask you if you need to have special talents to be a camp counselor :)
How is it like showering and personal hygiene stuff
Honestly it’s fine! It’s a fully set up cabin where the bathroom is off to the back, about 4 toilets and 4 showers per cabin x
Is 26 too old to join ?
No not at all! One of my best friends at camp was 26!
What's the average age of camp counselors??
I wouldn’t really say there’s an average age! Ages of counsellors vary from 18 up late 20s!
