As a J-1 Camp Counselor participating in the U.S. Exchange Visitor Program, you will gain valuable experience working at a summer camp while immersing yourself in American culture. However, navigating U.S. tax obligations can be confusing, especially for international participants.

The J-1 Camp Counselor Program offers international participants a chance to immerse themselves in American summer camp culture, fostering cultural exchange while leading activities that spark joy and growth in campers.

The J-1 Camp Counselor Program is a transformative opportunity for young adults worldwide to work at U.S. summer camps, fostering cultural exchange and personal growth. While many participants join through sponsor-organized placements, the J-1 Self-Placed Program offers a unique alternative, allowing you to handpick your camp to tailor your summer experience.

Odyssey International Camp can help you find a unique cultural exchange that brings young people like yourself from around the world to work at summer camps across the USA. This opportunity is far more than a summer job. It will benefit you personally, professionally, and culturally. A truly invaluable experience. Need we say more?
