Age 16+
You can apply from age 16 onwards. Some placements may require 18+, but we review your profile and match you to suitable options.
Eligibility
Apply from 16+ with clear, honest criteria
We keep eligibility broad so more strong students can apply, but we stay honest about what camps expect: responsibility, communication, and real commitment for the full summer.
Core criteria
These are the baseline checks we use before matching you to camp interviews.
Conversational English
You should be able to communicate clearly with campers and staff. Fluency is not required; confidence and clarity matter most.
Summer availability
You must be available for the full camp contract window (typically 8-10 weeks, depending on camp dates).
Responsible with children
We look for maturity, patience, and a genuine child-safe mindset. Prior childcare/coaching helps, but is not mandatory for every role.
Stronger applications
What helps you stand out
- Sports, arts, tutoring, volunteering, leadership, or activity skills
- Clear motivation for cultural exchange, not only travel
- Ability to work in a team and follow safeguarding rules
- Honest application details and responsive references
Not automatic rejection
You can still be a good fit without...
- No perfect CV
- No prior U.S. travel
- No premium certificates (for non-specialist roles)
- No polished interview style on day one
Authentic note: meeting eligibility does not guarantee placement. Camps still choose based on interview fit, role demand, visa/sponsor rules, and your complete application quality. We review every profile personally and give clear feedback.
