Trainee & Intern

Take your camp journey to the next level and spend an unforgettable 3-18 months in the U.S. learning the ropes of camp management while building professional skills to supercharge your CV!

About the Programme

The Trainee and Intern Programmes give recent graduates and professionals a great way to build skills, soak up American culture and lead at camp. Trainees can spend up to 18 months (12 months for hospitality), while Interns can stay up to 12 months. 

As a Trainee or Intern you’ll put your existing knowledge to work and follow a tailored Training Plan, growing your expertise and working in areas like operations, recruitment, hospitality or programme development.
