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.
You can use your days off at camp to visit local towns and cities nearby.
Many camps offer transport off camp during your time off, or you may be lucky enough to be in walking distance of a local town!
You can arrive early to the USA and spend 30 days prior to camp travelling. Once camp has finished, you can stay in America for up to 30 days and use this time to travel with your new mates.
Explore America for a mix of cultures, awesome scenery, and non-stop fun. Dive into big cities, check out cool landmarks, and savor unique local eats. From buzzing urban vibes to chill national parks, the USA has something for everyone.
Taking a Gap Year and would like to continue the adventure after camp? We also offer Winter Work options in Japan & Canada at a special discounted price for those participating in Camp America.
Work at a world-class ski resort and spend your days off on the slopes, socialising with people from all over the world. We secure a job for you before you arrive, help you find accommodation, and provide ongoing support.
If spectacular views are your thing, you'll want to put the Grand Canyon on your list.
Amazing during the day, but well worth visiting in the evening to check out the lights. It is a place where New York city never sleeps.
Visiting California? Visit Yosemite, one of the oldest national parks in the USA.
Wonder at the bright red beauty of the Golden Gate Bridge as it spans the bay.
