FAQ
Frequently asked questions
No. We match you with a suitable host camp as part of the placement process.
Yes. APT participants must have a confirmed U.S. host organization. We provide guidance on finding and securing a host.
ACE participants receive accommodation and meals from the host camp. APT participants are responsible for their own accommodation.
J-1 participants typically return to their home country after the program. Some tracks have a two-year home residency requirement before applying for certain other U.S. visas. We advise on this during the application process.
Extensions may be possible depending on program track, sponsor approval, and host organization agreement.
Strong conversational English is required for both tracks. ACE participants work directly with American children so clear communication is essential.
