See what camp directors say about us

When Camp Matoaka needed a specialized person in a serious time crunch, Camp America had someone on a plane, halfway across the world, in 24 hours. Not only was she here a day later, she was enthusiastic, eager, qualified and beyond excited.

—Wendy Berliner, Camp Matoaka

I have been working with Camp America for many years and will continue because of their qualified staff. Camp America also keeps me up to date on the newest Federal Regulations. It is important to me to have an organization that is behind the staff they provide and Camp America does just that.

—Heather Boylston, Green Chimneys Camps

Partnering with Camp America just makes staff recruitment that much easier. Having a wonderful account representative who understands your camp takes out a lot of the legwork when searching for the ideal candidate. Camp America does a great job ensuring the each participant is taken care of and manages everything so that our staff members arrive at camp feeling ready and prepared for a fantastic summer.

We have absolutely loved working with Camp America. The CA staff have gone above and beyond to support us throughout the hiring process, taking the time to understand our unique camp culture and making it easier to find the right counselors for our camp family.We have consistently had high quality applicants, and enjoy going to the UK to meet our counselors before hiring them. Our counselors have been the perfect fit for our camp, seamlessly joining in our camp traditions and fun. Our campers love getting to connect with people from other countries and our counselors now have best friends all over the world!

Over my nine years working with Camp America, I have had nothing but exemplary service from all their staff and especially our Account Representative.

They make sure that applicants have the right skills, are informed and ready to be placed making working with Camp America a breeze.
