What is Campower?
Campower are the team who look after the camp itself, keeping everything running smoothly on a day-to-day basis. You could be answering phones and doing important admin in the Camp Office, or perhaps you’ll be responsible for feeding all the campers and staff 3 times a day! If you’re the outdoorsy type with practical skills, you might even find a position in the maintenance and groundskeeping teams, fixing anything that breaks and keeping camp looking beautiful. To apply for Campower, you must be a student in full-time education and meet all other eligibility requirements.
Campower Program Benefits
The biggest benefit of Campower is that you get to spend 9-12 weeks working on a summer camp without the responsibility of looking after the campers and with more pocket money (up to $2,150!). This also means you’ll have separate accommodation to campers and counselors, guaranteeing a good night sleep! Your daily routine and any breaks will also be far more fixed. But don’t worry, you can still get involved with everything that camp has to offer and make the most of camp facilities in your spare time.

Real Experiences
Don't take our word for it - this is just a snapshot of the amazing summers our participants have had, and the reasons they keep going back year after year.
Camp is a magical place where you can truly be yourself and escape reality. I love making my campers’ summers amazing and I’ve made friends for life. It really is a life changing experience.
To anyone considering Camp America, go into it with an open mind and take the opportunity with both hands. It’s an unforgettable experience.
Not only do I love everyday camp life and ensuring the campers have the best time possible but I also love connecting with different cultures! Camp is one of the best experiences you can have.
The friendships you gain and the memories you make are like nothing you will have experienced before. Camp America turned me from a boy to a man and I am so grateful for what they have done for me.
The best thing about working at a summer camp is getting to literally be a kid again - we did so many activities at camp from paddle boarding and low ropes to performing arts!
You join this bubble of people who are extremely caring and supportive, they help you grow as a person and unlock new confidence. I would recommend Camp America to anyone!
