Your first chance to explore will be during your days off at camp. You’ll get at least 6 days off over the summer and you can use these days to visit the local towns and cities close to your camp.
Most camps offer transport off camp during your time off, or you may be lucky enough to be in walking distance of a local town!
Once camp has finished, you can stay in America for up to 30 days and use this time to travel with your new mates.
The USA is a great country to explore on any budget and along with our flexible return flights and Camp America Treks, we’re here to make your after camp travel time really easy, so you can concentrate on enjoying yourself!
From the USA, it's really easy to continue your travels into Canada, Europe or a stop over in south-east Asia before heading home.
To make sure you're still covered, we have partnered with World Nomads Insurance to make it simple to extend your insurance to cover you outside the USA. Please contact the office for further information.
