The American Institute for Foreign Study (Australia) Pty Ltd opened its Australian office in 1999 and began offering its Camp America and Au Pair in America programs to young Australians. In 2005, AIFS commenced offering inbound programs and currently facilitates cultural exchange programs for more than 2,000 young people.
Most Australian University schedules do not fully coincide with the time needed for working at a US summer camp. The commitment to work at a Summer Camp will not fit into the Mid-Semester break for University. The latest departure date we can accept is the 25th of June. Camp America cannot offer placements after this date. By late June, most camps are halfway through their summer sessions. As a result they would prefer to welcome and train their staff as early in the summer as possible.
