We are embarking on the journey of a lifetime! We want to participate in Camp America 2016 - but to do this we need your help!

Taranaki

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to look at this page.

Harrison and I have taken up the opportunity of a lifetime by enrolling for Camp America 2016. Camp America is a 9 week programme held all over the USA, and we will be camp counselors - sharing our skills and teaching the children all that we can. Harrison is 18 and has just finished his Diploma in Professional Cookery, and I (Justine) am 19 and have just gained my Certificate in Early Childhood Education and Care. We believe that we can contribute a lot to Camp America - share our skills and knowledge, and show the USA our Kiwi attitudes and spirit.

We have already been accepted into the programme so all we need now is your support to help us raise enough to cover the costs. Our part-time jobs are giving us a great start, but we can't get there on our own. Our goal is $8000 as this will cover all that we need. Here is a breakdown of the costs per person:

Application - $350

Passport - $200

Medical Insurance - $660

Visa - $250

Travel to Auckland for Visa Interview - $100

Medical Checks - $100

Flights - approx $2500

Our aspirations are high but even just one dollar will make a big difference for us!
