Skilled Summers Reviews 53

Very close detail and attention on my application!

My experience with Skilled Summers was more than perfect and I cannot imagine my travelling and working summer abroad without it.

24/7 support made me feel really comfortable since I was travelling just by myself - whenever I needed something regarding camp, paper work, Skilled Summers was always there, quickly responding. During camp period, Skilled Summers make sure they come to visit you and always make sure you feel great, safe and having the best time.

If you want the true camp experience without any problems and really smooth application process, Skilled Summers is the right choice.

This was my second year working at a camp in America through Skilled Summers. It was a life-changing experience, and I’m really grateful for how helpful, supportive, and responsive Cat was. It’s definitely not going to be my last year!

Skilled Summers is by far the best agency to go with when looking at doing camp work in America for the summer of a lifetime! Cat and Harry were super helpful, they had face to face calls with us to help prepare us for the summer ahead, gave us lots of useful information and even visited me at camp during the summer! They provide really good pay, and have links to some incredible camps where you can really excel at whatever skill you love to do. The entire process was really easy and a lot quicker than I expected all thanks to Skilled Summers and I hope you all have an incredible summer next year thanks to these guys!!

Skilled summers fully supported my daughter throughout her application for summer camp they answered her questions and made the process straight forward, they even visited her in placement with an unexpected and much appreciated goody bag !
Thank you for making her first solo travelling experience at 18yrs old a good one !

This year was my first time going to summer camp and I'm glad I chose Skilled Summers. Cat and her great team made every step of getting to Canada very simple and made sure I was prepared and knew everything I needed to prior. The interview process was a very friendly formal which felt more like a conversation than anything else. I can't wait for my next summer with Skilled Summers in 2026!

The interview process was very clear and they gave amazing tips for first timers. The team is there 24/7 to help you at any stage when signing up and you're guaranteed to go to a summer camp through skilled summers. Not only that but you're recognised as a genuinely skilled part of the team at camp! Amazing would definitely recommend!

Skilled summers were incredibly helpful throughout my camp employment and thanks to them and the camp I had a great summer! Massive thanks to them 🔥

My name is Bailey, I was sent out to the state of New York for almost 10 weeks at a kids summer camp. The camp I went to was called Chipinaw and Silver Lake, personally it was fantastic. I was a lifeguard which meant being in the sun all summer and swimming in the lake everyday, being a specialist you spend time with the kids at meal times or in the evening, I basically spent 10 weeks with 38 little brothers, they were all amazing and definitely the reason I’d go back. Thanks Cat and everyone at skilled summers for an amazing experience!!

I’ve been using skilled summers for my American summer camp experience for the past two seasons and I cannot recommend them enough! The team are all incredibly friendly and hands on throughout the process guiding you the whole way. The entire process is very personal making sure that they place you and your skills at the right camp for you. I found the interview process very relaxing and that was due to the friendly nature of the whole team. If you’re planning on going to work at a summer camp in the US I cannot recommend Skilled Summers enough!

Working in the US has changed my life, and it started with Skilled Summers.

I got recommended by a friend and skilled summers has been supportive the whole way. Cat has great contacts in the camp world and was able to place me at one of the US' top camps for staff.

If you are looking at working in the US, consider Skilled summers and take the first step in their application process.

This is my second year using skilled summers to go to camp and I would not change anything! Cat, Harry and the rest of the team were friendly and helpful from the very start, making the application process easy and straightforward. They sent me to a camp which was perfect for me and they even came to check up on us while we were out at camp. I am definitely considering doing a third summer and would recommend to anyone.

I’ve been using Skilled Summers for 4 incredible summers and cannot recommend Cat and her team enough! From my initial placement at my now summer home to the continued support it’s a no brainer for J1 students. I love how supportive, approachable and transparent skilled summers is, making the visa process simple and streamlined. Even when things don’t go as planned, Cat has always been quick to jump in and help me out. The personable approach like video calls and camp visits always make me feel comfortable too. I’ve recommended skilled summers so many friends and colleagues and i’ll continue to do so for years to come.

Skilled summers is the best!!
The most supportive agency eveeer!
From the very beginning, Cat was incredibly supportive, patiently answering all my endless questions and guiding me through every single step of the process
Tbh I’ve never seen an agency so personally involved both Cat and Harry even came to visit me at camp in person, which meant so much! ❤️
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience one of the best summers of my life. This journey pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best possible way, and I will be always grateful for Skilled Summers
Not just and agency, but a family❤️

Cat and her team have been amazing and so so helpful all the time. They chose one of the best, if not, the best camp for me and I loved every minute of it there. They keep in touch over summer and check in to see how you’re getting on and so the support is always there if it’s needed. I cannot recommend them enough as they’re so professional and easy to work with.

I can’t thank them enough for one of the best summers I had and I can’t wait to go again next year!

Thank you Skilled Summers!!!!!

One of the best agencies out there if you are looking to work at a summer camp overseas. Shout out to Cat and the team for making my experience worthwhile. Would definitely go again!!!!

I had an amazing experience working with Skilled Summers. This year, I went to Camp Chipinaw working as the weights instructor. The process of getting placed was smooth and well-organized, and I always felt supported along the way. Cat was especially helpful—she answered every question quickly and made sure I felt confident before heading out. The role itself was a perfect fit, and it gave me the chance to grow while doing something I love. I’m grateful for the opportunity and would definitely recommend Skilled Summers to anyone looking for a rewarding camp experience.

Cannot fault skilled summers at all, the company offered loads of support in preparation and during camp. They managed to sort me with a well fit placement when i applied very late on and aided me with any issues that arose during my application and visa process. Cat and the rest of the team were fantastic and provided help along every step of the way, allowing me to have an incredible summer❤️ Thank you

Skilled Summers truly changed my life in 2025. From the very beginning, Cat was with me every single step of the journey supporting me, guiding me, and making sure I was placed in the right camp. She really is the best

The whole team Georgia, Kalom, and Harry were also incredible. They even came to visit me at camp in person, which meant so much to me, and to top it off, they surprised me with a gift!

I’ll forever be grateful to Skilled Summers for making this adventure possible

Skilled Summers 2025

Skilled Summers made my time at camp even better than I ever could have hoped for! Despite only applying in December 2024, both Harry and Cat were incredibly helpful and were with me every step of the way- them visiting me at my camp was also incredibly kind of them to take time out of their schedules. The application process was easy, everything regarding VISAs was clearly laid out and well thought out and they were never afraid to answer any of my questions, no matter what they were. Skilled Summers is a reputable company who I will (hopefully) be using again when I go to camp next year and would recommend to anyone looking to do a Summer at a camp.
