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.
Camps select counsellors based on skills so the chances of a camp needing both you and your friend’s skills are slim. Each season we do place friends or partners together, but these tend to be older and highly skilled applicants. A few things to remember if you wish to do Camp America with a friend…
So, we recommend applying with your friends and working on your post camp travel plans. You will have both made new friends which will make for an amazing post camp travelexperience.
