Who we are
We're a summer camp direct placement agency, powered by the teams at Smaller Earth and CENET. With our combined expertise in summer camp recruitment and J-1 programs, we send thousands of people to America each year for a summer they don't forget.
We currently work with over 500 camps across the US, so get in touch to find out how we can help yours.
Our programs
Two ways to bring international talent to your camp: one for candidates you've already found, one for longer-term interns and trainees.
Camp Intern and Trainee Program
The Camp Intern and Trainee Program allows participants to work at camp for up to 18 months on a J-1 visa, taking on administration roles. We work side by side with you to determine a participant’s eligibility and create a custom multi-phase training plan directly related to their degree or field of study, tailored for your camp.
Why American Camp Co?
