When camp begins in 2010 will you be prepared for the massive Aussie invasion? Will you be pulling out your Aussie flag, your Aussie towel and matching swimmers, your green and gold hat and of course, you’re inflatable boxing kangaroo? You may be the only Aussie at your camp or there might be a small crew of you which is why you need to be proudly Australian (although you might want to leave the “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi!” at home) ;)

So, why are we popular at camp? We often speak to camp directors who rave about their Aussie staff, some even saying that if they could offer every job they had to Aussies they would! Here are some practical reasons camps love hiring Australian's for each summer of fun!

- Add international feel to camp

- Aussie work ethic

- Honest, upfront and friendly

- Love sports and outdoors

- Easy going attitude

- Similar outlook on child care

- The accent!

This is your chance to show your new American friends, both staff and campers what it means to be Australian and what life is really like down under. Working at a US summer camp allows you to immerse yourself in a real American tradition and participate in a unique cultural exchange. Now you just need to decide if you will sprout stories of ‘drop-bears’, riding kangaroos to school, speaking English as a second language or whatever other doozies you can think up…or whether you will tell them the truth!

AUSSIE! AUSSIE! AUSSIE!
