GEC will provide Host Camps with qualified Camp Counselor candidates through the Exchange Visitor Program. Using our experience, network, and best efforts, we’ll recruit, identify, and screen applicants based on each camp’s needs and in line with standard hiring practices and The U.S. State Department program regulations.
Here’s a quick look at the 2026 fees:
| Placement Type | Cost | Who Pays |
|---|---|---|
| Full Placement | $1,350 | Camp |
| Direct Placement | $685 | Camp or Participant |
| Summer Work & Travel (full or direct) | $1,350 | Camp |
Minimum Salary for 9 weeks of camp – $1900
Salary for each additional week should be a minimum of $250 per week. All prices are in USD.
The $1350 placement fee (for each hired camp counselor) is due within 10 business days after the camp counselor’s arrival at the camp. This fee will be refunded if the applicant does not arrive at the camp.
