Two lucky teenagers are set to spend the summer in America after being picked to entertain children.

Jannette Conway, of Rochford, and Lee Gayler, of Hadleigh will spend nine weeks taking part in the Camp America programme.

Jannette will be jetting out to a summer camp in Ohio whilst Lee is bound for Pennsylvania.

Jannette said: "I am really happy to know that I have a place, I can't stop smiling, I am so excited."

Camp America arranges for young people to attend its camps and work as counsellors, who lead the children in their various activities.
