This was my first summer going to a camp and travelling abroad and CCUSA just made the whole thing stress free. It was so easy to organise and plan which really took the pressure and nerves off me. It was an absolutely amazing summer and I couldn’t recommend CCUSA more! 11/10!!

CCUSA are incredible
CCUSA are incredible! The process of going to camp in America was so smooth and hassle free. No matter what time of the day, the team were on hand to help via email, phone and social media. I enjoyed camp through CCUSA so much that I returned 3 times, every year using CCUSA. I can’t recommend them enough and guarantee you won’t regret the decision to have the best summers with CCUSA!

Extremely helpful and highly reccomend
I used CCUSA 4 times when applying for summer camp and cannot reccomend them enough!
In my first year I had no idea what the process involved and how to apply correctly for something which could be very confusing if not for their guidance.
Their support and advice made the whole process very straightforward and were on hand throughout for any questions or concerns that I had.
They were also extremely helpful when at the US embassy waiting for my visa appointment with numerous members of staff on hand outside to help check our documents and ensure we were in the correct place and to talk us through the whole process before heading in.
Big thank you CCUSA for ensuring I was granted my visa each year and able to enjoy the best 4 summers of my life!!

Super Helpful
Super Helpful!
I used CCUSA 3 out of the 4 times I went over to America on a J1 visa to work at a summer camp. Every time I had a question or was unsure about something I got a quick response with really easy steps to follow or had a straight forward answer to my questions.
There website is easy to use and shows where you are up to in the application and visa process and even has helpful checklist to ensure you have all the paperwork you need.
If you are ever thinking of going over to work on a summer camp I would highly recommend CCUSA to help you get there.

Best in the business!
Following two years with another summer camp provider, I made the move to CCUSA. They have supported me to work at camp for 7 summers, including during the COVID 2020 summer. They have been very thorough, attentive and easy to work with, especially during the uncertainty of the pandemic. I am thankful to have made the switch to CCUSA and would highly recommend them to anyone that wants to work at camp. Their fees are some of the lowest in the field and I believe they have the highest level of customer care. Thank you CCUSA for 7 incredible summers!

I have been working with CCUSA for the last five consecutive summers. They were massively influential in getting me into America in 2016 and 2018. They’ve then offered me an opportunity to work in a Croatian summer camp and was extremely helpful with the recruitment process. I couldn’t recommend a company any higher and I hope to keep working with them in the future.

Amazing summer with CCUSA
Thanks to CCUSA, I had the greatest summer of my life at a summer camp in Croatia this year. People from the office were always helpful and friendly and made me feel taken care of throughout the whole experience. I would recommend it to anybody!

Unforgettable summers with CCUSA!
I have been participating in CCUSA programs for the past five summers. My first summer, I completely stepped out of my comfort zone, and join a camp in the states, and for the next four summers I have been working in International summer camp in Europe. Through all five years CCUSA team was always very professional yet friendly, very supportive and they always made sure I have all the right informations. Summer camp is always a great idea, but knowing you have such an amazing team by yourside just adds on an unforgettable experience. I would absolutely recommend getting in touch with CCUSA office and learn more about their programs! I will definitely get in touch with them again to start planning for another amazing summer!

Summer Camp in Croatia
So I’m already sitting at home wishing I was back at camp! CCUSA made it so easy for me to be able to have the best summer of my life! It’s so hard to put into words how incredible my summer was because everything was just so phenomenal! I would recommend this to absolutely anyone, I was able to become someone I never thought I could be whilst being out there and I can’t thank them enough for that either! I hope to be working with them again very soon!

A fantastic agency
I have been with CCUSA for the last 4 summers and can't speak highly enough of the service they provide. I communicate with Dave and he is always at the other end of an email when I have questions or problems. The rest of the UK team are fantastic. When I had challenges obtaining my VISA for this summer in the country I was living in at the time, the team both in the UK and USA did everything they could to rectify the situation which resulted in a positive outcome and I was able to go to camp this summer despite the pandemic.

CCUSA - going with CCUSA will be the best decision you will ever make!
I have been working with CCUSA for the past four years to get me to camp. They have been so incredibly helpful and supportive, before and during the pandemic. I could always count on them to help me with any questions I had or if I needed anything at all. Particularly Caity and Duncan, this year when I realised I wouldn't be getting to the US to work at camp, they helped me to find a role at a Camp in Europe which was the best decision I could make at the time as I really need some time at camp. I cannot thank them enough, and I am excited to work with them to get me to camp once again next summer. You guys at CCUSA really are the best!

Outstanding - great service, passion and brilliant support.
I have used CCUSA on 3 occasions and they have been outstanding every time. They really care and are passionate about what they do which makes all of the difference. In particular, I would like to call out Duncan Jane who lives and breathes camp and always goes the extra mile to offer the best service and experience possible.
It’s been a tough few years for CCUSA with the pandemic so if you’re looking to go to summer camp then please do consider using them as they’re a brilliant company who really care and go above and beyond to help you have a great summer.

18 month training visa
I have just completed an 18 month training visa through CCUSA in California. I was lucky enough to get out to the US before travel restrictions came into play. Unfortunately my programme was hit quite hard with COVID but CCUSA worked with me to keep me here and did regular check ins. When I had urgent problems or questions the staff members were quick at responding and helped me come to resolutions efficiently. I will absolutely use them again in future; very easy to follow process and good staff!

Excellent customer service
Excellent customer service, have used CCUSA twice for my summers working in the states. Both times I received all the necessary information I needed for my experience with any additional information easy to gather by asking the relevant people on CCUSA's team who were more than happy to help me get; via emails and phone calls. Can't fault the service nor those who helped me along the way.
What I liked best were the days they held to help those in a similar situation to me who were going into it for the first time and helped to make it a worthwhile experience, whether that was help for the embassy or just the experience itself.
If I were ever to do a similar working abroad job and the people at CCUSA were suited then I would happily hands down use them again!

Grateful to CCUSA
So grateful to CCUSA team that was very helpful and friendly leading me to complete easily every single step for my application.
If I were to define the sponsor, along all the process, just one word comes in mind: 'HUMANITY'
For my experience, and beyond all their professionalism, I felt strongly supported, especially when started this unprecedented Covid 19. The sponsor was very sensitive and proactive during those moments of confusion and uncertainty. They didn't stop worrying, asking, taking care about my health condition, my feelings etc. and providing updates for our safety. I guess honestly I'm not sure I would be on this stage if this sponsor was not here!
Now I'm experiencing and feeling real positive changes on my personal and professional life. I strongly recommend to deal with the CCUSA sponsor, they are just amazing, professional, friendly, lovely and will always carry you to reach goals!

5 yr camp experience from lifeguard to director
Went to my camp for 5 years. Worked way up from lifeguard to the boys side director. The experience honestly shaped who I am today. The friends made and experiences will last a life time. I became a teacher and summers didn’t line up which is why I could go back an I was gutted. But the reunions and meet ups with friends who shared in the experience is a highlight of the year. Would recommend anyone and everyone go and experience life as a camp counsellor!
This experience would have never happened if I hadn’t of met a CCUSA representative. There a great friendly agency that will help you every step of the way!

CCUSA for the best summer!!
I would completely recommend using CCUSA! Every part of the application process was made so easy for me by the staff that work there, they really helped me find the right camp for me and there was always someone to answer any question I had! Working as a camp Counselor was by far one of the best decisions I made, I loved my camp so much that I did 5 summers there and it truly has become a second home to me! Every time it came to reapply as a returning Counselor the team at CCUSA made it so easy which just makes the experience even better! If you are someone that loves teaching and mentoring i would definitely recommend the camp Counselor experience it’s an amazing opportunity to work and travel abroad, you get to meet the best people who become friends for life! And CCUSA is the best place to start that!
