CCA isn't just an agency; it's a family forged over two decades under the acacia canopy. Hundreds of young Kenyans have lived in campsites, pitched wilderness camps, and mastered child psychology before boarding their international flights.
Our first pioneer cohort of young counselors gathered on the banks of Lake Naivasha. Camping under massive yellow-barked acacia trees, they completed rigorous training in leadership, first aid, and teamwork — laying the groundwork for Camp Counselors Africa.
CCA began guiding independent explorers through UK Youth Mobility visa pathways, beyond the camp-counselor track.
A new official placement partnership opened structured, paid professional roles across Canada, Australia, and the EU for CCA alumni.
With this new platform, we're expanding our signature summer camp program to Canada and opening recruitment beyond Kenya to candidates across Africa.

"CCA's training at Naivasha gave me the confidence to lead a full cabin of campers in Pennsylvania. I came home with savings, a reference letter, and a new sense of what I'm capable of."
"The UK working holiday route felt out of reach until CCA walked me through the whole visa process. I found hospitality work in Edinburgh within weeks of arriving."
"Through CCA's professional placement partnership I landed a structured hospitality role in Canada, with real training and a clear path to grow in the industry."
"My second summer as a camp counselor in the US was even better than the first. CCA's training back home made the transition easy both times."
"CCA connected me to a professional placement in Canada that matched my hospitality background. The support didn't stop once I landed — they checked in the whole first month."
We recruit young leaders aged 18–35 from Kenya and across Africa. Requirements vary slightly by program — the USA summer camp route looks for people comfortable working with children, while professional placements look for relevant work experience.
Speak with an admissions counselor directly for current program fees — costs vary by destination and route, and we'll walk you through exactly what's covered (like housing and meals on the USA camp route) versus what you'd need to budget yourself.
From application to departure typically takes a few months, depending on visa processing times for your destination country and program intake dates. Applying early gives you the best shot at your preferred placement.
For camp counselor roles, swimming ability and comfort working with children help — but we provide training at our Naivasha grounds before departure. Tell us your current experience level honestly in your application so we can match you to the right role.
Summer camp programs (USA, and soon Canada) are seasonal, youth-focused roles with housing and meals covered. Professional placements — through our partnership for Canada, Australia, and the EU — are structured, paid roles in fields like hospitality, arranged over a longer term.
