Info

Keep everything running smoothly by working as maintenance staff for KAMP USA, an ideal opportunity for students who want to experience summer camp life but don't want to work directly with children.

Maintenance involves both outdoor and indoor work. On the grounds you will be cutting grass, trimming shrubs and trees, raking leaves, grass and other rubbish. You may be driving tractors and trucks, and may have some dangerous equipment to handle, e.g. chainsaws, etc. Obviously most of this work is in daylight hours but as a maintenance person you will be on call 24 hours a day for emergencies, although for the most part the job will be routine.

KAMP USA places you in a support role on a US Summer Camp for 8-9 weeks, with up to an extra 6 weeks to travel once camp is over. With low upfront costs, KAMP is one of the easiest and most affordable ways for students to explore North America.

BUNAC provides you with a package that includes a free return flight, working visa and comprehensive work and travel insurance.
