A paid summer work and cultural exchange opportunity for creatives aged 18+.

Camp America offers a paid summer opportunity to live and work at an American summer camp for 9–12 weeks, with performing arts and creative roles available across camps in the USA. This is more than just work experience - it’s a chance to use your creative skills while living the full summer camp life!

Creatives from all backgrounds are placed in roles where they can teach, lead and inspire young people through acting, singing, dance, music, technical theatre and production, while also being part of a wider camp community. Alongside your role, you’ll take part in classic camp activities, build international friendships and experience everyday life in the USA. While we work with specialist theatre and performing arts camps, performing arts roles are available across many different camps, not just specialist ones.

This opportunity is ideal for those who:

• Are actors, singers, dancers, musicians, technicians, directors or creatives with relevant skills
• Want paid, hands-on experience using their creativity in a real-world setting
• Are looking for more than a placement - a summer of growth, confidence-building and unforgettable experiences
• Want to develop transferable skills such as leadership, teamwork and communication in an international environment

Camps generally run from mid-Jun to mid-August – but this can vary by camp and location.
