Our Matching Process

InterExchange connects great international participants with the best camps in the USA. Our matching process helps ensure that we're finding international participants and American employers who are truly world-class!

How We Screen Applicants:

  • International cooperators review individual applications
  • They invite the most qualified candidates for an interview and orientation session
  • Applicants submit supporting documents, including
  • Two personal references
  • A cover letter
  • Curriculum Vitae
  • Police background check
  • Medical history
  • Once we receive all the applicant's information, we begin the matching process

How We Screen Camps:

InterExchange only places participants at reputable, well-established camps in the USA. Before working with a camp, InterExchange representatives gather comprehensive information about the camp, its philosophy, and its staffing needs. We always follow up with a detailed call with the camp director, and often conduct a personal visit to the camp during the season. If you participate in the InterExchange Camp Staff Placement Program, you can rest assured that you'll be placed at an exceptional camp.

How We Match Participants and Camps

With our detailed understanding of each camp's needs, we find the best candidates for each camp job. When matching participants, we take a variety of things into account, including:

  • Dates of availability
  • Skills and experience
  • Personality
  • English ability
  • Maturity

Once we make a match, we'll the send the participant's full application to the appropriate camp. Each camp may review each application exclusively for five days. If the camp decides to hire an individual, we'll provide the participant with an InterExchange Camp USA placement offer and commitment letter.

Then, everyone gets ready for a great summer!

Testimonials

“I am happy to be here at camp but I am sad because we have just 8 days left. I’ve learned so much about the kids and discovered more about myself. I’ve also learned to give 100 percent every day.”
— Juan A.P., participant from Mexico
