I spent my first summer in PA,USA. This was the best decision I made. The agency, Smaller Earth-Camp Leaders Hungary has one of the best team!
They were helpful all the time, told us everything twice, never miss anything. They had attention on everything.
I'll go with them next summer too.
I met with different cultures during the summer (not just American!)
This program is a challenge and worth it.
The famous phrase of the summer for me is "expect the unexpected" - camp here is like nothing you will experience in your life or anywhere else in the world. The Chinese culture is world's apart from English culture and not just because of the language. This summer has had its ups and it's downs and I would recommend anyone to try it who wants to spend 24/7 working with children and helping them with every aspect of their day. Summer camp is an intense, full on job and it is not a holiday - you come to work - all that being said, you make friends for life and memories you will never forget and I can't thank Smaller Earth enough for their help in getting me onto the programme.
However, I do feel that more support could have been given whilst at camp for all staff and also more preparation beforehand in relation to clothing, workload and money (both pay and how much to bring). More clarity is definitely needed from Smaller Earth in order to see happier staff and have a job that meets and exceeds expectations and not be fully stepping into the unknown. The programme is good value for money, it is very cheap and that shouldn't go unnoticed.
Smaller earth is absolutely astounding!! I love the company so much. The staff are amazing, thoughtful and knowledgeable. They are always keen to help you out in any situation you are in!
I was placed to work at Camp Westmont with Smaller Earth. I have had an amazing summer so far and I really love my job in the United States. The camp is the best and I recommend this experience to anyone! Smaller Earth have been very helpful, they really care about participants.
With the help of Resort Leaders and Smaller Earth I had the best summer in a golf resort in Minnesota. It wouldn’t have been my first choice of American States to go to but I’m so glad it worked out the way it did. Minnesota is an amazing place and I met some lifelong friends!
Thanks Smaller Earth!
