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.

Yes. As a cultural exchange visa sponsor, Camp America provides medical insurance for your time at camp, as well as for the 30-day travel grace period in the US before your camp commences and at the completion of your camp placement. Provision of medical insurance is required as a visa sponsor and therefore is mandatory for participants to take the Camp America medical insurance (unless they have a policy that has been reviewed and approved to meet the program requirements). You also have the option to upgrade your medical insurance policy to include baggage insurance. You can do so through your MyCampAmerica application site.
