I was recommended through a friend

I was recommended CCUSA through a friend and I am SO glad I applied with them! My experience could not have been more positive, from the start they were there to guide and help me fill out everything I needed, as well as walking me through things I didn't understand. It made the process so much easier, in particular with answering any questions as well as advice and explaining my embassy appointment I could not reccomend them enough not one complaint on my part!!

You're very welcome Joseph! We know that everyone's application journey is different. Some are smooth and straightforward, while others need a bit more help and assistance. Whatever happens, we're here to help with whatever is needed to make sure all of our counselors can get safely over to the US 🇺🇸♥️

It was my first time applying to camp and Dave made it so easy for me and helped me with every single step making it such a peaceful experience by firstly, messaging me first asking if I had any questions and then continuing to support me through the whole process which I am very grateful for as I don’t think I would’ve been able to do it as stress-free if at all if it wasn’t for the help I had received. It was well appreciated!

My first time applying and could not be happier with the experience!

It was my first time applying to work abroad. I have been wanting to do Camp America for 3 years now and thank you to CCUSA I am going in just under a month! They have been incredibly supporting and helpful in the application process. There were some issues with visa application but they were always messaging and helping us through it.
The application process is quick and easy, if you overcome any issues you are able to contact them on WhatsApp.
The orientation was really helpful to get us prepared for camp as it is around the corner.
Thank you Dave for all the help! He really is always emailing reminding you of the steps and checking in!
Thank you to CCUSA I am now getting everything ready to head off to the US in about 3 weeks.

CCUSA have been incredible in assisting in getting me to America. They have incredibly hard working staff who couldn’t do more to help you. All the instructions they provide are well thought out and thorough, helping navigate you through some very confusing forms and visas.

Hi Shay! You're not wrong with the visa 😄 There's a whole lot of forms to complete...but I'm glad to hear that you found the instructions helpful and thorough. We almost want to overprepare our counselors for their visa appointment!

Couldn’t recommend enough

I’ve used CCUSA for my past two summers at camp and couldn’t recommend them enough! They are so helpful, respond to questions very quickly and make the process so easy with everything laid out step by step. The whole team are so helpful and friendly. Highly recommend! If you want an unforgettable summer experience the CCUSA are the ones to go with.

My experience with CCUSA

My experience with CCUSA over the past two summers has genuinely been one of the best decisions I’ve made. From start to finish, the support they provided made the whole process feel straightforward and exciting rather than stressful. Applying to work in the USA can feel overwhelming, but CCUSA guided me through every step — from interviews and placements to visa support and pre-departure preparation!!!
Overall, CCUSA didn’t just help me get a summer job — they helped create two unforgettable experiences that have shaped me personally and professionally. I would 100% recommend it to anyone considering working abroad!!!! Can’t wait to work with the for many years to come!

4 years with CCUSA going strong

It truly brings me so much joy to talk about this company. I have been to America with CCUSA for 4 years and they never let me down. Time and time again they support me through everything, I can’t recommend them more.

Every year ccusa are super helpful

Every year ccusa are super helpful and it’s my seventh year of working with them on my camp journey and they are the easiest and most wonderful people to be looked after by with all the forms and applications you have to go through. They make it super simple and easy with step by step guides for visas and such and even with taxes they are helpful! 10/10 I will always reccomend ccusa to anyone thinking about a summer camp experience

I cannot recommend CCUSA enough

I cannot recommend CCUSA enough. This will be my 4th summer at camp, my first summer I went through a different agency and didn’t feel like I got the right support. Making the switch to CCUSA for my second summer was the best decision I could’ve made. From the initial sign up to after camp check ins, I felt at ease the entire time.

The entire process couldn’t be more straight forward, you are guided through everything hand in hand and if you do have anything you need some extra support with or help understanding, the staff are all incredible and truly make the agency what it is and the reason for the 5 star review.

Thank you for making my summers away from home so smooth; genuinely could not recommend enough. An agency that genuinely cares about you.

CCUSA Work & Travel Experience Program

Summer 2026 will be my third year joining the Work and Travel program with CCUSA. They’re affordable and incredibly helpful, whenever I need something, they respond quickly and provide all the information I need. Through this program, you meet people from all over the world, experience different cultures, and find yourself in completely new situations. It’s so much fun, and every year I come back home with a heart full of friendships from the USA and beyond. Honestly, I wouldn’t change this experience for anything.

My experience with CCUSA on a work and travel program

This is my second year participating in the CCUSA Work and Travel program, and my experience over these two years has been incredible. They always respond super fast when you write to them and do their best to resolve any issues that come up. What I appreciate most is that they guide you very well through the process (which is a bit long), and it feels shorter because they give you instructions for every step, which is really appreciated. I would definitely choose them again as my agency.
