Yes, but the visa requirements are the same as an E2. (degree and clean FBI check with apostille).
Pay varies from 2-4 million per month and usually doesn't include airfare but does include room and board (Korean food).
The last couple of years there were a couple of camps that included air but the pay was about 1 million per month (6am - 10pm).
The income tax rate on a short term visa is about 30%.
Working at a camp without the C4 visa can land you in an immigration detention cell looking at a substantial fine and deportation if you are at one of the camps that Kimmi checks in on over the summer.
Camps run from late July to late August.

Then order your FBI check ASAP and pray that you have your parchment in hand by May or you can pretty much scratch that idea off the list.
It will take (assuming you are American) 6-16 weeks to get your check done, get the apostille on it and then get a certified true copy made of your degree and get an apostille on that too.
You need everything in hand and ready 3-4 weeks prior to camp (to allow for visa processing).
If you don't have them then you CANNOT get a visa to work at a camp.
Pick another country.
CAVEAT, if you are NOT American (hold a passport from another country as well) then look into the H1 (working holiday visa).
