Great Communication & Friendly Staff!

Applying for summer camp with USA summer camp has been a straight forward and easy process with great communication throughout. Always receive emails and phone calls from the friendliest staff to check my progress and make sure everything is going well and if I have any questions. I have now been placed in a camp for people with additional needs like I’d hoped for and can’t wait to have the best experience. Would 100% recommend applying for camp through USA Summer Camp.

Selfish Company. Do not use their "service".

Refusing to refund one of their earliest applicants before the recruitment even began. I changed my mind before they even began working for their money, I suppose its fair to keep the deposit as that's usually how it is but keeping the other 350euro? Seriously, its such a horrible company. They are selfish and hide their unfair and inconsiderate refund/ cancelation policy in their small print of their program agreement which you sign after paying the money. I am in desperate need of this money, and can in no way afford to follow through with the program even if I wanted to. I have had a change in circumstances that makes this not a realistic thing that I can pursue even in the future due to education and work commitments that I intend to undertake. I am just so gutted that they can actually do this to someone, I really feel like I have been robbed.

Hi Liam we're sorry you're unhappy with us. You can still use the funds for our programs if you wish.

Highly Recommend

USA Summer Camp have a marvellous team of staff (many of whom are ex-camp councelors and will be able to give first hand experience and tips) who swiftly respond and continue to contact you, so as to maintain a progressive schedule and remove any concerns and stress the process may create.
Special shout out to Glen who is a joy to communicate with on the phone.
I reserve a five star review because I understand they it can be rather difficult to receive a refund from the company. Mostly, the option provided is to reapply for a future year, which isn't always accessable for some.

Via Mexico? The USA/Mexico border has only just opened for essential travel in Nov 2021

PLEASE DON'T BELIEVE THE SUDDEN AMOUNT OF POSITIVE REVIEWS. This is a response by Summercamp USA to counter the many honest negative reviews regarding deposits being withheld despite a directive in 2 open letters from the CMA to the travel industry stating all deposits should be returned. I am now in touch with the CMA and others who have had their deposits withheld. If this is not done voluntarily the CMA have said they will bring in powers to enforce this.

Camps were not open to UK students in 2020/2021
The USA/Mexico border has ONLY just opened up in Nov 21.

My previous review has been upheld by Trustpilot as I provided evidence that camps were not open. I have also reported the review claiming that a student attended a non-open camp via Mexico. I have a number of US friends and am up to date with the pandemic situation in the US.

Yes a number of participants travelled to Mexico and got a visa there and travelled onwards to America from Mexico. We also had people on the program who were eligible to travel with a US Passport, which would bypass a visa to work.
We have a lot of happy participants who are placed to go to summer camp in 2022. We understand you arent happy, which we have offered a suitable credit for, but writing reviews based on unfactual statements isnt fair really.

To respond to your points. All Reviews are completely true.
There was an ability for participants, mainly returners to enter Mexico, stay for 2 weeks, then travel to camp with a visa granted through the US Embassy in Mexico.
Camps opened to UK and IE students in 2020/21. However many couldnt travel due to restrictions in place. 95% of camps operated, successfully during the season.
USA Summer Camp have acted fairly and have so many happy participants placed and heading to camp in 2022.

This is my first time participating in Camp America (going summer ‘22) and so far the the experience has been fab. Everyone who has spoke to me is so professional, kind and honest. All phone calls can be re-arranged to fit your schedule and there has been no confusion at all; everything is made super simple and clear! Would highly recommend participating if you haven’t already!

They’ve got me there 3 times going on 4 and I’ve never looked back!

I’ve used usasummercamp/CCUSA now for 3 summers and will be travelling back to the U.S for a 4th. They have never failed to help me or explain things to me when needed, they even helped me get to camp during COVID via Mexico! I very much recommend going to work at a camp, you’ll meet friends for life (and all over the world for free stays) and have amazing memories, I also couldn’t recommend usasummercamp enough!
