USA Summer Camp
USA Summer Camp was founded in 2007. After working in America, in camps themselves Kier Bates and Patrick Howes decided they could help other 18-25 year olds from the United Kingdom and Ireland to fulfill a summer in the US.

Since it's first year in 2008, sending 75 people, USA Summer Camp in 2016 sent over 1,000 participants to America.

This experience has helped to transform the summers of UK and Irish citizens. It offers them a rewarding experience and something great they can put on their CV/Resume. By working together with major universities, this gives a great option on what to do during the long summer break.

The Camps
USA Summer Camp has built strong relationships and works with over 500 camps in America. All of which help use USA Summer Camp's participants to help staff them during the summer.

Camps can vary from Traditional, Under-privileged, Special Needs, Jewish or Christian. Some camps are mainly Musical, others can be mostly sports.

Children can range, usually from the ages of 6-16. They can be overnight, or day camps. During the days, children will enjoy a full range of activities, whether it be sports, music, outdoor adventure, water sports, arts and crafts. It's more difficult to think of an activity that camps don't have than to think of one they do have.

Other Programs
Matching the success of the summer camp is a more infant program - Resort Leaders. This is the opportunity to work in America, but in a Hospitality style placement at a 4 & 5* Resort in America. This has brought huge success to USA Summer Camp, in successfully sending 36 people to America in 2015.

2016 has seen the development of this program into Internship and Graduate placements. This offers up to 1 year at a Resort as opposed to the 12 week summer program.

Universities
USA Summer Camp is well known in universities in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
