Full description

Work Play USA is one of the most affordable international camp staff recruitment agencies. We specialise in cultural exchange and offer people the opportunity to spend their summer working at a premier camp in the USA. There’s no time like the present to sort out your summer plans, and if you love being in or on the water, we have the perfect opportunity for you!

 

The Role: Waterfront Specialist

Do you love swimming, water sports, and spending your summer outdoors? As a Waterfront Specialist, you’ll help campers enjoy activities such as swimming, kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, sailing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, fishing, tubing, and more.

You’ll bring energy, encouragement, and fun to every session while helping campers build confidence and enjoy the water safely. All staff complete waterfront training during orientation. We are especially keen to hear from strong swimmers and candidates with lifeguarding qualifications, competitive swimming experience, or a background teaching water skills—but these are not essential for every role.

No professional experience is necessary, just a positive attitude, confidence in the water, and a willingness to work with children. Camp contracts typically last around 8 weeks between June and August.

 

What do you get from us?

  • A competitive minimum salary of at least $2000+
  • All-inclusive summer: Food, accommodation, and medical insurance are provided for the entirety of your camp contract.
  • Travel the USA: Up to 30 days on your J1 visa to travel around the USA after camp with some cash in your pocket!
  • Low costs & Free Application: One of the lowest program fees on the market, and a completely free application. You will get to speak to a member of our team before deciding to commit to the program.
  • 1-on-1 Support: Your own personal account manager will guide you through the entire process, from finding the perfect camp placement to navigating the J1 visa process. We don’t conform to normal office hours, call or text us anytime for personal one-to-one support!
  • 24/7 support when in the USA.
