Another Brit summer of unpredictable weather, pub gardens, and scrolling through your friends’ holiday pics? Why not make this year different — and spend your summer lakeside in New York, getting paid to have fun?
Britain’s summer is often grey and rainy, unlike the sunny days in other places. For those who know the British weather, the constant change can ruin summer plans.
With Camp New York, you can turn your summer into an unforgettable experience — earn money, gain valuable skills, and explore the USA while working as a camp counsellor at an authentic American summer camp.
🇺🇸 What Is Camp New York?
Camp New York is a summer jobs program designed for UK students and young adults who want more than the typical Brit summer. It’s your chance to work at a summer camp in the USA, live with campers, and become part of a fun, supportive community over summer.
You’ll spend your days leading activities, organising games, mentoring campers, and enjoying everything that makes the American summer iconic — sunshine, teamwork, and adventure.
It’s not just a job — it’s a cultural exchange program that lets you experience real American life while earning money and building lifelong friendships.
Brit Summer vs. Camp New York Summer
Let’s be honest — a Brit summer has its charm, but it’s unpredictable. One minute you’re sunbathing, the next you’re hiding from a rain shower under an umbrella at the pub.
At Camp New York, summer looks a little different:
| Brit Summer | Camp New York Summer |
|---|---|
| Rainy BBQs | Campfires by the lake |
| Pub gardens | Outdoor adventures in the sunshine |
| Same hometown routine | A new experience every single day |
| Part-time retail job | Paid camp counsellor role in the USA |
| Weekend getaways | Travel across America after camp |
Why settle for drizzle when you could spend your summer surrounded by nature, laughter, and endless sunshine?
Earn Money & Gain Experience
Working at Camp New York means you’ll get paid to have fun — yes, really. You’ll receive a salary, free accommodation, and all your meals while you’re at camp.
