MATRIC CLASS OF 2026 – HAVE YOU GOT A PLAN YET?
March is the FINAL month for Summer Camp USA registrations.
Are you taking a gap year?
Still unsure what to do after school?
Not quite ready to jump straight into university?
Here’s an opportunity to work, travel, and gain real international experience all in one summer.
🌲 Become a Camp Counsellor in the USA with VISA On Demand CONSULTANCY.
Spend up to 12 weeks living and working at an accredited American summer camp.
This isn’t just babysitting.
As a camp counsellor, you will:
✔ Live in a cabin mentoring a group of campers
✔ Help lead daily activities like sports, arts & crafts, team challenges and outdoor adventures
✔ Facilitate bonding sessions, games and evening programs
✔ Develop leadership, communication and problem-solving skills
✔ Be part of a global staff team
For those with specific talents (sports, arts, music, outdoor activities), you may even lead specialist sessions.
All staff receive training before campers arrive.
✈️ What’s Included?
✔ Accommodation provided
✔ 3 meals per day
✔ Camp allowance/stipend
✔ J1 Visa support
✔ Comprehensive pre-departure guidance
✔ 30-day travel period after camp
✔ Travel allowance from $1,700 up to $3000 to explore the USA after your contract
Work hard. Then travel America.
📌 Requirements
* Aged 18–30
* Matric certificate
* Police clearance certificate
* Fit, active, and comfortable working with children
* Confident English communication
* Positive attitude and team spirit
This is more than a gap year idea.
It’s international work experience.
It’s cultural exchange.
It’s personal growth.
It’s stepping out of your comfort zone.
🌟 Have a Special Skill? Even Better.
Many camps look for counsellors who can lead or assist in specific activity areas.
If you have experience in any of the following, you may be placed as a specialist or activity leader:
✔ Lifeguarding or strong swimming ability
✔ Soccer, rugby, hockey or general sports coaching
✔ Archery
✔ Horse riding / equestrian experience
✔ Drama, dance or musical theatre
✔ Guitar, piano or vocal coaching
✔ Arts & crafts, design or creative workshops
✔ Outdoor adventure skills (hiking, climbing, canoeing)
✔ First aid certification
✔ Leadership roles (prefect, team captain, youth leader)
Specialist counsellors often help plan and run structured activity sessions, teaching campers new skills while ensuring safety and engagement.
Even if you don’t have a formal qualification, enthusiasm, energy and a willingness to lead activities are highly valued.
Spots are limited, and May is the final registration month for this intake.
