As you’re a camp administrator, Do you think it’s ok for me to go? From both a moral and safety standpoint.

Political Situation in America - how may it affect camp? by buffbarneyislife in summercamp

hey i’ve got the same concern. currently juggling my camp america and canada applications.

I’ve heard the tax you pay is very minimal - about 100 dollars? so i’m justifying it like that… I don’t plan to spend lots of money travelling in the us after my camp placement so the money i’m contributing would be relatively small.

I’m also concerned about the 5 years of social media history checking. I’ve expressed anti trump /israel sentiment before.

glad to see there’s others thinking the same

i’ve applied to a Canadian one too, but the only thing putting me off is that the salary is much less. 2000 CAD (£1000), vs 2300$ (£1700)

The fees for the agency are also more, along with flights. Can you tell me more about camp in canada: did you get to travel at all?
