KAMP

Eligibility

You can apply to KAMP if you:

• Are at least 18 years old by 1st June 2012
• Are a current full-time student at a UK or Irish university* on a degree level or HND course (or equivalent). The course must run for the complete 2011-2012 academic year. Final year students are eligible.

  *The university must be an accredited UK or Irish university (and registered with the DfES if in the UK). Students of any nationality can apply providing they meet the above requirements. Gap year students are not eligible to apply.

• Are available for at least 8 to 9 weeks from May/June. Most camp contracts start before 21st June and some start before 1st June so it is important you are aware of your commitments (e.g. exams) before applying.
• Are cheerful, energetic, friendly, hard-working, flexible, uncomplaining and able to adapt to camp life including the long hours, rules and curfews.
• Know of no reason why you cannot provide a guarantor or would not be granted a visa by the US Embassy. NB: you should speak to BUNAC before applying if you have ever been arrested or ever received a criminal caution or conviction as this could have implications for your US visa application.
• Currently live in the UK or Ireland and have a full, valid passport and (if not a UK/Irish passport holder) the right to remain in the UK/Ireland until at least the end of 2012.
• Can speak English fluently

Your placement chances will be higher if you have had some previous work experience, ideally in one of the areas you would be working in on the programme – kitchen, waiter/waitress, maintenance, office, etc.
