Stamford College Hosts Camp America Presentation to Highlight US Summer Work Opportunities

Stamford College recently welcomed Olivia from Camp America to present exciting summer employment and opportunities to students across our Sports courses. 

Camp America is one of the UK’s premier cultural exchange organisations, enabling young people to spend their summer break living and working at summer camps across the United States. The presentation provided students with a clear understanding of how gaining international work experience as camp counselors, activity leaders, and support staff can enhance their personal development and future career prospects.

During the interactive session, Olivia outlined the full application journey, placement timeline, and the wide range of specialised roles available, from sports coaching and outdoor pursuits to creative arts and youth leadership. She detailed the comprehensive support package provided to successful applicants, including food, accommodation, and visa sponsorship. Students also learned about the opportunity to travel independently across North America for up to 30 days following their camp contract, combining valuable workplace skills with global travel experience.

The visit generated high engagement from students who were keen to explore practical ways to build their communication, leadership, and resilience skills over the summer.
