They did not help at all when I needed. They did not inform about I would sleep with campers in the same cabin, nor I would not be fairly paid since I was doing the job of a carer for people with special needs instead of a counselor and that they was getting a huge percentage of the salary I was given by the camp. Plus, when I asked for changing my camp after knowing these circumstances, they said I just had the option of quitting and waiting for 14 days to be chosen by another camp, with no guarantees of this could happen and with no responsabilities or assistance regarding my hosting in the middle of USA, a country completely different from where I come from.

They don't care about the participant, all they care is money. If you don't find a good camp initially, you quit and they throw you there, the company's only response is "find a way to support yourself or go back home", when they are supposed to be there to ensure the well-being of the participant. It happened to me and they were supposed to have told me and spoken to the camp, which was supposed to accommodate me for 15 days while they were looking for another option. When I tried to contact the Sponsor and see what was going on, he didn't even answer. When he finally contacted me, the meeting didn't even take 5 minutes and he said absolutely nothing. I have traveled a lot, honestly too much, and in short this is the worst company.

It was a disaster, the agency doesn’t care about your well being. I was at a terrible camp and asked for help and they didn’t do nothing. They don’t even check if the camp is great and send us to exploitation in another country!! And when you will need help nobody will be here to help you. Don’t go with this agency !!!

Basically this is a means of students scamming their way into inexpensive travel and housing in the us. Despite suggesting that their program is here to set students up with jobs in reality you get a placement who has little to no interest in doing the job they signed up for, and after the training period they all come back and say that they want to transfer to a new job. The videos they present are scripted and the actual students know little to no english. You have to coordinate housing, take them to get social security numbers, food, etc. You spend hundreds of dollars per student as well as hours of time. Out of 7 interexchange hires 2 refused to work, and five went through training only to quit once the actual work commenced. This is extremely damaging to businesses. And it is a total racket. The two students that refused to work actually applied to multiple other jobs and accepted other jobs where they took pay to train, got uniforms and materials, and then did not show up to the actual work, while living in our student housing and claiming to be jobless not paying their paltry housing fee. A bunch of scam artist freeloaders enabled by this sham company. Update 2024 I can 100% confirm that this is a scam for the employer. Again gave inter exchange a chance. Out of 10 hires 80% would only pretend to work and frequently put us in a dire position for our business. Essentially you are being used for cheap housing. If they find a sugar daddy they abandon the job. Or once the training period is over and they have to work independently they quit, get a new job, train there for two weeks, quit, get a new job, until they’ve gotten through the summer. Out of 15+ hires only 6 stayed the time for which they committed. Honestly this program made my life hell. I’m praying that economic changes will end our labor shortage.

Totally unprofessional, the staff, as well as the AuPair we got. Seems like there’s no vetting process at all with these people. Do yourself a favor and use another company.

The camp I worked with gave me the worst experience and I gave out my report on how the situation was and basically I got a response that nothing could be done about it.

I was fired from the camp because of something I did not do, and received very little help and support along the way. I will most definitely not do anything like this ever again. I'm just happy I'm home and safe.

TERRIBLE. SUMMIT CAMP in Pennsylvania is THE WORST camp someone could ever go to. Everyone is a bunch racist and unprofessional 4SSH0L3S and I did not get any support from Interexchange during this PAINFUL SUMMER. They fired me because I yelled at a kid who literally stole and broke my stuff while other staff pushed one of them and the kid fell down and hit his head really bad and NO ONE gave a FLYING FVCK. This was supposed to be the best summer of my life and SUMMIT CAMP as well as INTEREXCHANGE turned it into a nightmare and complete $H1T. Thank you very much. The person who let this camp be part of your program MUST GET FIRED.
