Camp America

[Lbet]

Are there any parents whose kids have done camp America?

My daughter is currently taking a gap year before going off to uni next.
She is really interested in doing camp America next summer.
We have had a good chat with a student who has just been for his second summer in a row. We have had loads of useful tips and advice from him. He did say you don’t do camp America for the money because you actually end up being out of pocket and you do it for the experience.
That suits my daughter fine as she is definitely wants to do it for the great experience.

Just wanted to know if anyone’s child has been and if you can tell me about their experience.

Thanks in advance.

It was from the interview slot to confirmation email, which was just over 48hrs for us (in Ireland so the Dublin US embassy).
If you are booking flights via Camp America, they have pre-booked availability so don't worry there. Its a bit more nerve racking if you are booking them yourself though. At the moment DD doesn't know when camp ends, as they may transfer her to a sister camp which runs for longer. Its lovely shes wanted, but makes flights a nightmare.

Mine finally did her tax from last year on Monday with help of dad and has booked visa apt. Belfast was fully booked so is needing to go down to London.
We are out shopping today she’s buying bits for camp. She’s heading back to same camp and says they have a nice Snapchat with girls working there from last year and new ones this year. Talking about going back again next year already!

Thanks all mine is returning to rural Maine for an 2nd year. All done at Embassy and they kept her passport so hope that’s a good sign and we’ll get it back soon so can start looking at flights.
She didn’t get given an initial refusal letter which I thought the embassy were doing so hoping all is well.
She got in the lift after with 2 people who had been flat out refused which I think shook her but they did seem to have valid reasons and had been told right away they were refused.

Oh and yeah not happy about leaving the Insta public as has picked up loads of new followers already which she’s not happy about!

Oh phew! That’s a relief. Although he does need to come back on a particular date but at least the outbound will be a reasonable cost.

Is anyone’s dc going to frenchwoods festival? That was my camp in the 00’s and I want to send my DDs in the next couple of years. Wondering what it’s like this decade.its upstate New York
