With amazing states and provinces to explore and plenty of culture to immerse yourself in, the core experience of working at a summer camp is similar. However there are some differences to consider when deciding on where to spend your summer!
Subsidised Program Fees
Unlike many other agencies for summer camp programs in North America, we don't charge our participants any upfront program fees. Instead, your future summer camp employer will subsidise your program fees for you. While you will be required to cover some costs for things like your flights, police check, ETA etc, the cost overall is significantly lower. Head to your costs & what’s included for a full breakdown.
One of The World's Friendliest Countries
Canada is considered one of the friendliest, most welcoming countries in the world. They have held this reputation for many years because of the country’s progressive values, multiculturalism and commitment to diversity and inclusion. Canadians are also renowned for their politeness and are always willing to lend a helping hand. You'll probably find them using phrases like 'please,' 'thank you,' and 'sorry,' reflecting their respectful and considerate nature. So no matter where you are in Canada, whether you are working at summer camp or exploring the city, you'll find yourself embraced by a welcoming atmosphere that makes Canada feel like home.
Avoid The Hassle And Cost of Applying For a Visa
When you apply to work at summer camp through Camp Canada, all of our participants are visa-exempt. This means that you won't need a visa to work in Canada. Making the process much easier and eliminating the hassle of embassy visits, visa interviews and additional costs that are associated with obtaining a J-1 visa for summer camp in America.
Get Up To 6 Months of Travel Time After Camp
One of the many benefits of working at summer camp in Canada is that if you want to stay and explore the country further once your summer camp placement has finished, you have the option to extend your stay. You can get up to 6 months of travel time by switching to a visitor visa for $100 CAD. This provides more flexibility for travel and exploration compared to the 30-day travel limit in the US.
And there you have it! These are the main differences between Camp Canada and summer camp in America. The best choice depends on your personal preferences and interests. Consider things such as your budget, desired travel time, and the cultural experience you're seeking. Whether you choose Canada or the USA, your summer camp experience is sure to be unforgettable.
