About
Camp America is one of the oldest international camp staffing programs, placing counselors and staff from more than 20 countries at U.S. summer camps since 1969. It operates as part of the American Institute For Foreign Study (AIFS), drawing on AIFS resources for transportation, insurance, and global recruiting offices. The program runs large recruitment fairs, historically in London, and provides year-round camp account support.
