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.
It is not a requirement to be vaccinated for the 2025 Camp America season however it is anticipated that some camps will still have this as a requirement.
