How much money do I need
Since some of you have been to camp already - can you give me an idea of how much money I'll need for during camp and after camp - I want to travel around and see some if America... ??
When I was interviewering, I had this question asked heaps, so many times, I lost count! I recommended that an applicant bring with them around US$800. This should be more then enough intill you get your first pay from your camp half way through the season. When you get your flights booked, you can also book add on packages like Hawaii, Disneyland, hotels, rental cars, Amtrak train passes etc. All the extras will be included on top of your flights etc, so all you have to worry about is spending money for those packages while in the USA. Petrol prices get very high in the US summer, especially in California, so best to budget extra for petrol if you get a rental car.
