    I'm currently waiting for my interview and this video has helped so much! I am always looking for crazy stuff to push me out of my comfort zone, so I'm excited but also a bit nervous!

    This video is sooo helpful but also kind of stressing me out because it made me realise how behind I am haha. I applied in the last week they were taking new applicants so I don’t have a passport right now, all my appointments are after my interview, and I’m supposed to be leaving in two months. I really hope everything works out because it sounds amazing!!! Thank you for making the video, it’s made me feel so excited to go!

    • @victoriawhitehouse704
      @victoriawhitehouse704  2 года назад +1

      Everything will work itself out don’t worry! All I’d say I’d make sure you stay on top of your agency and constantly ask for updates about where your application is at! I would also try applying to some camps direct so you get ahead of other applications!

      Its very easy to get placed at a camp, there’s around 12,000 camps in the US! Every bathroom facility will vary depending on the camp, at my camp we have the bathrooms in the bunk!
