Program Highlights
Working as a J-1 Camp Counselor is a master class in leadership. You will learn to guide children through activities, resolve conflicts, and work as team, all while ensuring safety.
The summer camp environment is a place for creativity and play. Whether you are leading a campfire sing-along or inventing a new game, you’ll discover new ways to think outside the box.
Beyond the summer camp experience, the J-1 Camp Counselor program is a chance to explore the United States. After your camp duties end, you are granted a 30-day Grace Period to travel.
The J-1 Cultural Exchange Program is designed to be accessible. Summer camps provide room, board, and a stipend. Odyssey will provide logistical support through your visa process and arrival.
