Outdoor Adventure & Sports Jobs in the USA
If you’re the type who’d rather be climbing, coaching, or kayaking than sitting at a desk, this is your kind of summer! With Camp America, you’ll spend nine weeks in the USA leading sports and outdoor adventure sessions for campers; from high-energy team games to epic outdoor challenges. Think zip lines, lakes, and endless blue skies instead of screens and routine.
Whether you’re into climbing, biking, football, tennis, or watersports, you’ll inspire campers to push their limits, build confidence, and love being active. It’s a chance to share your passion, gain real coaching/instructing experience, and have a summer that actually means something!
About Camp America
Since 1969, Camp America has been helping people spend their summers working at US camps that live and breathe adventure. From mountain-top sports fields to lakeside cabins, every camp offers something different. We take care of the essentials (flights, visa, medical coverage) so you can focus on what really matters: the experience.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Travel
Once camp wraps up, your adventure keeps going. Your visa gives you up to 30 days to travel the States - hit the big cities, explore national parks, or road trip with your camp crew.
Employability
Sports and adventure roles at camp are a huge CV boost. You’ll come home with proven experience in teamwork, leadership, communication and adaptability, plus the confidence that comes from taking on something completely new.
Safety
Our camps are set in peaceful, rural locations surrounded by nature. They’re tight-knit, supportive communities where safety and wellbeing are the top priorities for everyone - both staff and campers.
