Can I stay longer at camp?
If your camp offers to extend your employment, this can be a great opportunity to see camp from a different perspective and earn more money. Extensions are not guaranteed, but many camps have positions available after the main season ends.
What do I need to arrange if camp extends my contract?
If you are offered an extension, 3 things need to happen:
You need a new camp contract reflecting the extended dates
You need to extend your insurance to cover the additional time
Your DS-2019 needs an updated end date
Your camp will also need to contact the Camp Leaders US office to coordinate the changes.
Do I need a new DS-2019?
Yes. If your employment at camp is extended beyond the dates on your original DS-2019, you will need an updated form. Your camp and Camp Leaders will work together to arrange this. Do not continue working past your DS-2019 end date without an updated form.
