THE TRUTH ABOUT CAMP | What working at a summer camp in America really like *WITH PICTURES & VIDEOS*

THE TRUTH ABOUT CAMP | What working at a summer camp in America really like *WITH PICTURES & VIDEOS*

In the summer of 2018, I went and did an experience which I’d always wanted to do and that was Work at a summer camp in America. In this video I wanted to get really real and honest with you and give you the truth about what it’s really like working at a summer camp in America and all the things you need to know before you go!
I had some amazing experiences whilst out there but also some not so great experiences so I wanted to tell you EVERYTHING that you may encounter whilst you’re working at a summer camp!

The topics I talk about:
1. Is it like the movies? – what does camp look like and what happens there
2. The kids
3. The structure of the summer and day in the life as a camp counsellor
4. The main pros and cons and would I recommend?

I want to create some more videos on this topic as there is so much to talk about so please let me know if you have any questions! In future videos I will tell you stories about my time at camp and travelling afterwards as well as tips for packing, getting paid, choosing your camp etc!

Tips for the CAMP AMERICA application process:

WHAT TO PACK for Camp America:

  3. Renee Williamson on October 22, 2022 at 8:18 am

    I definitely watch both of those movies when I am missing summer camp!

  4. Notoya B on October 22, 2022 at 8:19 am

    How much do you get paid?

  5. Izzy K on October 22, 2022 at 8:19 am

    Loving your channel so glad I stumbled across it you got some really great content and earned a new subbie here! This sounds like the best experience, the kids doing pranks must be so funny I bet its hard to keep a straight face! And 14 people in one bunk that must get tense at times haha! Still I would love to do this. I was meant to be doing it this year but obviously with everything going on its cancelled really sad times. I went through camp leaders and I would 0/10 recommend them at the moment. Out of £600 that I paid they’re refusing to give me any more than £175 refund which is an absolute scam that I can’t even afford to accept considering I never ended up leaving the county its such a nightmare. But really hope to do it someday so thanks for sharing your experience 🙂

    Hi👋🏼 I’ve been hired as a camp photographer this summer but I’m kinda nervous because I don’t have a lot of experience with photography (I mainly have experience with film and editing).

    Do you have any tips/ advice?🙏

  49. Zacharey Bivens on October 22, 2022 at 9:08 am

    Hey there, loving your video, I’m doing camp this year (two months ahead). And I have a very disquieting question, do you share showers?Meaning no privacy in the shower? Or do u have like individual cabins? Thank you for all your insights:)
