Participant Reviews

I chose AmeriCamp and I would have no hesitations in encouraging others to do so; they give you a simple and cheap
way to achieve the Camp dream and make sure you’re paid fairly for your hard work! After speaking with friends who used
alternative Camp companies, they all wished they had used AmeriCamp!


– Danielle Churchill, Pequot Sherwood Day Camp  

Last Summer, I had such an incredible time; thank you AmeriCamp for supporting me the whole way, being super-organised and responding quickly to any questions I had. Speaking to others at Camp, AmeriCamp is by far the best-paid
way to go, too.


– Hannah Marshall, Summit Camp  

Wit the cheapest fees around and the highest salary, I was able to save money to travel all over America and do some
unforgettable adventure!
