Camp America has been a designated J-1 sponsor in the camp counselor category through the U.S. Department of State since 1969. We received our summer work travel Campower designation in 1985. As a sponsor we are subject to rigorous regulatory provisions and our host camps work closely with us to ensure that we successfully and consistently adhere to them.
We take pride in our level of regulatory compliance, and in forging partnerships with camps that ensure the health, safety and welfare of our participants while making cultural exchange a strong component of the program. We welcome your participation with true emphasis on learning and complying with U.S. Department of State regulatory provisions governing the exchange visitor program.
It is clear regulatory intent that we recruit staff that plan to take advantage of cultural exchange opportunities, and to place them with employers that are willing to partner with us in making these opportunities available to them.
