Is there any summer camp jobs for 17 year olds in america or canada?

Question

Hey, im 17 years old and from the UK, during the summer i would really love to travel to america or canada and work in a summer camp, does anyone know of any organisations that would allow me to do this? especially since im only 17 because i've found a few websites but it always says you need to be 18.

So please help :)

Answer 1

Hi, i'm also 17, and want to go to work in an american summer camp this year.

I've heard though it's extreamly hard to find anywhere, somthing down to needing to work minimum of 9 weeks for a part-time visa, and complications in this with age?

I'm just spending this summer getting a few handy qualifications and experiance such as a basic first aid certificate and maybe working/volentering with jobs involving kids.....

Bit gutted it will be about another 14 months till camp 09!
