Summer begins in December, if I am correct. Are there camps that would still accept American applicants for jobs, and are there services that set Americans up with summer camp jobs in Australia? Sort of an Australian equivilant of Camp America or CCUSA?
Cheap Beach Holidays.

‘Summer camps’ aren’t as popular here as they are in America, i think there are not very many…you would be better off trying for a different job.
possibly, but it is not a tradition here like North America.
Wouldnt know where to look, maybe Rotary, or check in with your education department there in the U.S.
no most parents in Australia look after their own kids not dump them in a camp to get rid of them for a few weeks
There are a few camps but nothing prolific like in the USA.
Generally, during school holidays – for primary school -age kids, most people send their kids to “child-care” during the day and they come home at night.
summer school holidays here really only go for about 6 weeks. there are school holiday programs but they only really usually run for 2 maybe 3 weeks and they are day camps where the kids will go out for the day and come home at night. It would be tough to find a spot working at one of them as there aren’t really any programs that cater to placing workers in them.
you might be better off looking north (queensland – the sunshine state ) to maybe working in a resort or something? hampton island perhaps?
or you could look at staying in melbourne and working at the ‘Australian Open’ (tennis)?
good luck
we don’t really have Summer Camps here. Kids who are not looked after by family usually go to the school holiday progammes in there area/school which is run by a staff that runs the after school care. I beleive there are some. Try google….summer camps Australia. I had a look out of curiosity once and found some and yes Summer is 1st December but school doesn’t get out till about 22nd December. Most likely they would start in the new Year
