How it Works!
The Camp Counselor Exchange program is a US Department of State J1 cultural exchange program where participants get to live, work, and play in camps across America for 9 to 10 weeks during the summer. It is a unique experience where participants take part in an authentic American tradition. Participants discover this quintessential part of American culture while sharing their own culture at a camp setting.
After camp, participants will have a 30-day grace period in their VISA to travel around the US!

Camp the World!
Camp the World brings the world to participants through adventure and learning. We work with activity specialists from around the world to provide the most dynamic learning experience.
Our flagship program is the Camp Counselor Exchange USA for young adults ages 19 to 30. Participants go to the US as Camp Counselors during the summer of June to August. For 9 to 10 weeks, they will lead children ages 5 to 17 in various camp activities and traditions.
