My Americamp Experience

#campamerica #americamp #camp #summercamp #solotravel #campwaltwhitman Instagram: emma_x_elizabeth In summer 2023, I worked at Camp Walt Whitman after being connected to them via the Americamp agency. This video contains information, tips, advice and my experience of the English-to-America summer camp journey! Overall, I would strongly recommend Americamp and working at a summer camp, and I would of course recommend Camp Walt Whitman.
