Reviews of BUNAC

BUNAC helped me have the best six summers of my life. The company was amazing at making what could have been a daunting experience incredibly exciting. The visa process was made easy as a BUNAC representative met me at the embassy each time I had to apply in person for a visa. I was given all the information I needed and was able to meet with others that were heading for the summer of their lives in the US. I got a lovely travel guide the first year for free which was then replaced with a free t-shirt which came in handy for the camp shaving cream fight nights. I had one summer in which I had to use another company and it wasn’t as organized or friendly so I would strongly recommend BUNAC for a summer in the states!

I was part of the program in 1996. I had met many camp counselors at Camp Sloane in CT who were from Great Britain. One of my friends received a survey from BUNAC about her own experience, asking if she would recommend others. She out my name down and I received some information in the mail. I had just graduated college and was eligible within the next 6 mos. I was able to live in England, BUNAC helped me with resources for job and housing listings and I had an amazing experience travelling and making lifelong friends.

I had a great experience with BUNAC from start to finish! Following my application I was quickly placed in my dream camp where I ended up spending 7 wonderful summers. The staff at BUNAC were particularly great with supporting me through the visa application and interview process, something that I expect would of been a lot more daunting if it wasn’t for the reassuring and knowledgable staff who were on hand to answer my nervous emails and phone calls in the run up! Thanks again BUNAC for being the driving force behind 7 wonderful summers, can’t recommend you guys enough!

As a generational summer camper in the States, BUNAC has had an impact on my life and my family in ways that it has shaped our culture and values. At five years old, my family went to visit one of my mom’s summer camp friends who came to camp via BUNAC. When I started at that same summer camp as camper at age 11, my understanding of the world grew because so many of my counselors came from all over the world. Years later, as a counselor, I made some lifelong friends who came to camp through BUNAC. These friends have visited my family and I have visited theirs which has been such a gift for each of us. As I was traveling with some friends after university they asked how I had a friend to visit all over the world, and I responded—it’s because of summer camp and BUNAC.

My experience with BUNAC was always brilliant and I wouldn't want to use another company for my camp experience. I was placed in a fantastic camp, and returned for 5 summers total. From the first year induction meeting to the final year of reissuing my J1, I felt supported and knew there was a helping hand just at the end of the phone or the email if I ever needed help with any of my application process. I have been recommending BUNAC to people for years and will continue to do so - I would not be the person I am had I not been to camp and I would have not got to camp if it wasn't for BUNAC!!

Working at a Summer Camp in the USA through BUNAC was such a life-enriching experience. Spending a summer in the sunny states, teaching fun activities and working with awesome people... there's no better way to spend a summer break from university. BUNAC made the process very clear from start to end, and were always very responsive to any queries I had. The initial interview was positive and supportive, and BUNAC were there every step of the way after this - including helping to navigate background checks, placements, J1 visa, flights etc. From hearing about the experience of my colleagues who were recruited via alternative summer camp schemes/sponsors, I am very grateful that I chose BUNAC. The level of support and knowledge is a cut above the rest!

I attended summer camp with the support of BUNAC four times and each one was a dream. They helped me with all the scary visa forms, popped me on a group flight one year so I met some other travellers before I got to the USA and most importantly (in my opinion) came to visit me once at camp. This was to make sure all was well and there had been no problems such as the role differing from the description (which certainly was not the case but super glad they checked!). BUNAC even helped me out with the prospect of applying for camp from a country that was not my home country. I didn’t follow through with that one as it was too tricky for me but grateful they took the time to answer my questions. Great company and if I wasn’t so old now I’d be booking my Summer Camp adventures with them still!

I was employed through BUNAC’s Australian branch, IEP on two separate occasions. The first was overwhelmingly supportive featuring an excellent induction program. I was well prepared and had a wonderful experience. That year I was the only Australian who travelled through BUNAC to my camp and I kept a greater % of my wage than those Aussies who were hired through a rival company. My second experience was even better. I travelled before going to camp and BUNAC staff in Australia were super supportive in helping me gain a job, a J1 visa and all of the relevant paperwork while I was backpacking in Nepal. I even had my interview at the US embassy in Kathmandu and required all of the paperwork to be sent to me abroad. BUNAC staff went above a beyond to ensure I got to camp my way with all of the appropriate documents forwarded to me and that deadlines were met with enormous preparation despite the challenges of being in a developing nation. A well-organized and professional service.

BUNCA are an incredible agency, responsive, trustworthy and very reliable. I have used BUNAC everytime I have worked out in America. They matched my skills with a leading Summer Camp and gave me the best three summers of my life. They were always there for me when I needed help and guidance and I couldn't recommend them more!

BUNAC placed me at a summer camp in New York State, which was a perfect match for my skills & background in working with underprivileged children. There were a number of steps to follow, especially with getting my visa, but BUNAC made it really straightforward to follow. I travelled around the East Coast of America afterwards & loved it all so much I ended up going back for 4 summers!

I enrolled on the BUNAC Work America programme during my summer break from uni. It was a life changing experience and I would encourage anyone to do the same! I literally made friends for life and North America is now like an second home to me. BUNAC were there to support me through the entire process, from getting a job, to the visa application, and even the outbound flight. I honestly couldn’t fault them. Without BUNAC my summer wouldn’t have been the same, and I’m so glad I didn’t miss out the experience! If you’re considering working abroad for the summer, don’t overthink it, just do it!!!

After using BUNAC as my sponsor/programme provider and just general ‘advice go to’ for my summer camp experience, I applied to work with them once I was back from travelling a few years later, as I knew the company and working environment was going to tick a lot of career goal boxes! And I wasn’t wrong. I could tell that all the staff felt very passionate about their role and customer focus and I really wanted to be part of this culture. What led me to this decision? The first year I used them for summer camp USA, my customer journey was second to none as all of the staff I spoke to had already completed their own summer camp adventure, so all questions big or small were answered with first hand knowledge. I used them each time I returned to camp and then for my work abroad holiday in Australia a few years later, each time receiving brilliant customer service and great programme deals and tips for my travelling adventures. I would highly recommend them as a company to use for a work abroad experiences and as a place to work!

I had the most amazing experience with BUNAC on their Summer Camp USA programme - their staff are kind and understanding and they were always at the other end of the phone when I needed them, answering all my questions. It made the whole process a lot easier and made me less nervous! Thanks so much BUNAC

Amazing experience with BUNAC on the ultimates program. All of the advisors we spoke too were helpful but Kristian was brilliant at supporting us throughout the journey from the initial conversation to getting our Working holiday visa appoval for Canada!! Thank you so much

I am probably one of the older people posting a review here - I was a summer camp counsellor at Camp Sloane YMCA in Connecticut in 1991 and 92... and I was in my late twenties at the time! I had many wonderful experiences during my two summers, but by far the longest lasting legacy that I have is the many friendships that have endured over the years since then. In the early years following camp, I didn't keep in touch with many people at all but, with the advent of Facebook I started to rekindle friendships and, on a couple of occasions, attended mini-reunions in London, when American friends were visiting the UK. In 2018, I returned to Camp Sloane, for the first time since 1992, with my family, to share in the Camp's 90th anniversary celebrations. From the moment I arrived, it was as if I had never been away! It was wonderful to reconnect with many who had been counsellors or campers when I was there and to share so many of our memories. As well as rekindling many old friendships, I formed new ones... and it was particularly special to meet some of the new generation of counsellors, including those who had been placed at the camp by BUNAC. Following that visit, both of my twin daughters said that they would love to work at Camp Sloane. Unfortunately, due to COVID, that hasn't been possible yet... but if university commitments permit in the next couple of years, they will be there!

I’ve used BUNAC a number times to work at a summer camp in America. The staff there made the entire process really easy and simple so I was able to focus on my summer. Couldn’t recommend them enough!

I went through Bunac for 2 summers on the Camp America programme and cannot rate them highly enough! The website is so easy to use and the staff are so professional, friendly and informative. As an 18 year old working abroad, my family had peace of mind knowing I had used such a good company to assist me.

I’ve gone through bunac on their summer camp programme many times and they have always been so helpful, communicative and have given me the most amazing experience at camp in the USA! They organise everything for you, help you make your application better and work with you to find an amazing summer home!!
