USA LOCATIONS
Campers should travel on a tourist visa or visa waiver*(see at the botton of this page) to attend the summer high school programs. When they enter the US they should state that they are attending a summer camp. The camps are classified as recreational in nature and not academic so student visas are not indicated.
Please make sure the camper's passport is valid for at least 6 months past the intended departure date.
Please contact Lenore Lyons with any questions regarding travel and visas to the US:
