YMCA Camp Erdman has developed one of the foremost international training program templates in the United States. We are pleased to offer the opportunity to come and work in Hawaii to young professionals from all over the world. YMCA Camp Erdman is committed to contributing to global understanding by participating in cultural exchange. As part of our commitment, we conduct a Multinational Training Program for International participants.
The J-1 training visa allows non U.S. citizens to be a part of YMCA Camp Erdman's program. The training program you receive is created by Camp Erdman and requires approval form ICCP. The visa is acquired through the organization ICCP (International Camp Counselor Program) a division of the YMCA. The offices are located in New York City
The International Training Program is 13 months long. Start dates are in January and May of each year. We require that applicants have some pervious experience working with children and a strong desire to provide positive life changing experience to others. We also prefer candidates with strong swimming skills, those who are not afraid of heights and are able to drive.
During the majority of the year Trainees will have roommates and live in staff housing. We provide free housing, three meals day, a weekly stipend of $100.00, and basic medical insurance that is purchased through ICCP.
