CCUSA is an official designated sponsor of the J-1 visa and will help you every step of the way with your visa process! We will issue the documentation that you require to apply for your J-1 visa and will assist you through the visa application process. The visa is valid for up to 4 months of work (only at a US based summer camp) plus an additional 30 days of travel in the USA once you have successfully completed your camp contract.

CCUSA hosts annual job fairs in Ireland and the UK. Camp Directors from the USA will be on-hand to meet, interview and hire candidates to work at their camp this summer! Visit our website for more information on this year’s camp fairs!

CCUSA provides you with comprehensive medical insurance for the duration of your camp contract. If you wish to extend your insurance to cover your post-camp travel period, you can do this easily before or after you have arrived in the USA!

Your US Government SEVIS tracking fee (US$35) is included with the program and not charged to you (this is not the case with all US camp programs!)

You can either opt for CCUSA to book your return international flight to camp from Ireland OR you can book your own international flights!
