@@FearlessMeg321 it's pretty simple! The camp emailed me directly sayin they would love to do an interview with me, a couple days later did the interview and basically got hired on the spot, after that thy send you your contract with all the information on! Xxx
Hey! I like your showcase, and was wondering if you ended up going to Canada and if so what sort of camp, where, and how did you find it?! I’m currently in the process of applying myself :)
I went to a religious camp in Pennsylvania, I would love to go to Canada though! Religious camps are really cool, I’m not religious myself, but most of the kids at camp were jewish. It’s not what you expect, it was very normal just like any other camp. The only things that kind of made it jewish were we sang jewish hymns before we ate, on Friday nights we would wear white and award values bracelets to the campers and staff, and we would have a traditional jewish meal on a Friday night too, and we would have a jewish word of the day, but that was pretty much it! I absolutely loved it. A lot of camps are ‘religious’ camps, but never ever let that throw you off because they’re pretty normal, they’re actually a lot more interesting! xx
Hey Kirsty, I’m applying for camp america this year and I’m not very well travelled any advice for how to make the application video, & what to include
Hey! Just show off your personality and skills as best you can. Keep it short and sweet, I honestly think I spoke too much in mine 😅. Show them who Lauren is, talk about about passions or hobbies you may have, what makes you happy, and how this can be linked to working at Camp! I would plan what you're going to say before hand, I made bullet points with some key words that I wanted to include next to them and I just went off that. Include why you want to go camp, what you're hoping to bring, what you're hoping to gain, they're the questions I tried to focus on. Honestly just keep the camera rolling, it doesn't matter if you mess up you can always edit and take some bits out later, there is some great apps on your phone you can edit videos on too. Just remember to always keep smiling, be excited, because this is the exact attitude you're going to need at camp 😊
Did you accept the first camp that offered you a place? How did you decide which one was the right one for you? I'm currently trying to get placed but I just don't feel like I would fit in the places that have offered me a position, but I'm not sure how much longer I can keep waiting for the right one to turn up. Ugh it's so hard to know what to do!!
I did! So how it works, only one camp can offer you a place at a time, so the camp can ‘reserve’ you until you have an interview, which means other camps can’t view you in that time. I did take the first camp that interviewed me as it looked like a great camp! And i didn’t want to say no, then be offered a place from another which wasn’t as suited to me, if that makes sense!
Not yet! I had to wait for my references to be done, they were completed a few days ago so should be soon hopefully! I was told it may take a couple weeks anyway, fingers crossed! Xxxx
Honestly confidence is key! Show your strengths, your individuality! And not to worry, the staff, the americamp team are so supportive and helpful, they will help you every step of the way!
this video is amazing, your camp will be lucky to have you!!!
