Summer Resort Staff

Description

Explore a new continent, immerse yourself in its culture, make invaluable professional contacts and form friendships that will last a lifetime. Experience working in the service capital of the world with Resort America, on a programme designed specifically for students like you.

Resort America is part of the American Institute For Foreign Study and provides participants with pre-arranged summer work across the USA. Drawing on over thirty years of experience with our Camp America programme, AIFS has developed a unique and exciting new opportunity for you to experience work and life on an American resort. The programme starts in either May or June and lasts for 12 weeks or more. The package on offer also includes a RETURN FLIGHT to America along with food, accommodation, pocket money, help in getting the necessary visa and the opportunity to explore North America once your work is over.

Resorts are located in every corner of the United States; you could find yourself in a country club in Vermont, on a mountain lodge in Colorado or at a golf resort in Florida! The possibilities are endless! Wherever you go, you're bound to enjoy the recreational facilities on your resort or in the local area during your time off.
