any CCUSA program when used within 12 months of cancellation.

you in writing by your camp. Please note that camp policies cannot supersede US Department of State regulations for the J-

component in it, and has a required cultural component. Participants must participate in at least one cultural activity each

activities in the area where you will be at camp. These resources are accessible through your online CCUSA account.

this required cultural component can jeopardize your program.

1. If you fail to fulfill the responsibilities of your position at camp or violate any camp rule, or State or Federal law, or leave
voluntarily, your participation will be cancelled and in certain cases you must depart the USA immediately. This includes
anything that might happen during your time off. You will incur additional costs for travel, food, lodging and a contract
cancellation fee of US$500 will be charged.
2. Fees paid to CCUSA will not be refunded.

RETURNEES
In addition to all other points included in this agreement, the following policies pertain specifically to Returnees.
1. A “Returnee” is classified as a person who is returning to the same camp, OR to a new camp under the direction of a camp
director the applicant has previously worked under and in the same visa category (counselor or support staff). Returnees
applying for their third or more summer must be aware of the 10% returnee rule. Additional documentation may be
required.
2. You must submit a complete online application, proof of student status, current criminal/police background check, this
signed program agreement and a photo to your local CCUSA office along with a return invitation, contract or email from
your camp director (must include a statement verifying you have been invited to return to camp and your proposed work
dates) before CCUSA can process your application.
3. Returnee program fees are non-refundable, no matter what the reason is that you cancel or your camp rescinds your job.
4. Upon submission of all necessary forms and payments, CCUSA will provide you with a current DS2019 visa application
form, worldwide travel insurance coverage for your work period (you will have to extend your insurance with CCUSA for
the whole period that you are in the USA if different from the work dates) and 24-hour support while in the USA.
5. You are required to submit your travel to camp plans to your online CCUSA account at least 4 weeks prior to your
departure in order for us to activate your insurance policy. Information required includes airline, flight number, date and
time of arrival as well as your method of arrival to camp if arranging this yourself. In addition, you MUST notify your camp
of your travel plans. CCUSA is not responsible for coordinating an airport pickup with your camp. Failure to complete these
travel requirements in the time frame indicated may result in your cancellation from the program, and no refunds will be
issued.
6. Returnee applications can close at any time.
7. Participants who have used CCUSA as their previous visa sponsor will be given priority in case the returnee cap is close to
be reached.
