Camp America offered me a life changing experience, as to working abroad it taught me how much more support could be provided for children with special needs at a summer camp. It made me see life in a different perspective into realizing that I should always consider other individuals needs. Taking part in this program showed me how many opportunities are out there worldwide. I was able to work in a destination where I have always dreamed to live and still do. As I enjoy working with children with special needs, this was another great opportunity for myself as well another chance to be taught about different disabilities. This program showed me other support systems that are available to ensure that the children have the best summer of a life time, most days were a challenge but they were also lessons that I could learn from into wanting to develop within that particular working industry.

Joining Camp America, I was able to take part in endless activities. Some of these activities involved Swimming, Hiking, Music and Movement, Arts & Crafts, Chorus, Science Projects, Basketball, Archery, Rock Climbing and so the list could go on. This was a unique opportunity to spend my entire summer in the United States, on this journey I also got the chance to meet some amazing people that I never imaged until today we will still be reminiscing about our camp experience.

The benefits of taking part in this program is uncountable, it helps with personal development. It left me feeling confident about myself and gave me time to make changes to my life that I thought would never happen. I learnt a whole new range of skills and took part in new experiences that I knew would have looked good on my CV. As part of the program you get given an extra 30 days stay in the USA once camp was finished. This is gave me so many ideas of where I wanted to travel. Travelling already broadens my horizons, so I knew that it was time to take this time to plan.

If you have been or are considering to take part in the Camp America Program, then do so. Honestly you'll be making the best decision of a life time, I'm returning for a third summer and I think that says a lot. It offers so much for what it is worth and the experiences leave you speechless.
