Qualifications in certain areas are always desirable (especially\u00a0outdoors<\/span>\u00a0experience). We find that personal experience is really valuable and, when combined with a positive \u2018can do\u2019 attitude, this produces the best kind of applicants!<\/span><\/p>

Do your best to add as much detail to your skills section of your application as possible. Even if you don\u2019t have the experience teaching it, the more skills and experience you have in different areas the better \u2013 as it shows you are a good, well-rounded candidate.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Most Camps have a 9-week contract starting in early to mid-June.<\/p>

We can only accept applications with availability up to the 21st of June at the very latest. If you can\u2019t start until after this date, please contact the office to discuss your options.<\/p>

Top tip: The earlier you are available the better! Camps start hiring for some positions from late May, so if you do work longer than 9 weeks, you will be paid a daily rate on top of your initial salary.<\/b><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Interviews will usually be carried out in your local area and in person, with one of our lovely AmeriCamp Canada Campus Managers.<\/p>

All of our Campus Managers have completed at least one summer at Camp and are the perfect person to chat to about what you\u2019ll get up to at Camp! Interviews are quite casual so you don\u2019t have to turn up suited and booted; think of it more as a chat to get to know you and talk about what skills you can bring to Camp!<\/p>

Your interviewer will then complete an interview report and we can move you onto the next stage if you are successful.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Let\u2019s face it, your video is what really brings your application to life! As a tool, it is the perfect opportunity to show off your personality, skills, and to convince a Camp Director to hire you. Keep it short and sweet (we recommend no more than 2 minutes), and be yourself!<\/p>

The program fee covers your application fee, i.e. the cost of us working with you to make sure that your application is submitted to and processed by our placement team, to get you placed at your perfect Camp!<\/p>

Food and accommodation at camp along with 9 weeks of comprehensive medical insurance is also included in your fee.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This can vary greatly depending on the Doctor\u2019s surgery you are registered with. Typically you shouldn\u2019t be paying more than \u00a340-\u00a360, however, some practices do charge higher fees. Please give us a call in the office if you find the amount costly, we can give you some suggestions to help bring the cost down.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Camp Fairs are a unique opportunity for applicants to approach and meet Camp Directors in person, which in some cases can prove invaluable! Meeting Camp Directors is a great way to make yourself stand out, and boost your chance of being placed at your dream Camp location. As if this wasn\u2019t enough, you\u2019ll also have the chance to meet the lovely AmeriCamp Canada office team \u2013 aren\u2019t you lucky!<\/p>

We will announce the dates, times and exact locations of all Camp Fairs shortly. Please note that attendance is compulsory to guarantee your chance of placement.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

There is no exact amount of time it takes to get placed, although generally speaking the earlier you apply, the earlier you will be placed.<\/p>

It is definitely worth making a note of the dates of our AmeriCamp Canada Camp Fairs held in December and January, as here you have an excellent chance to secure your placement on the spot! Don\u2019t worry if you can\u2019t attend, though, as our placement coordinator will be working through the year to match you with your perfect Camp.<\/p>

Please also be aware that placements can occur anytime up to the 30th of June, so hold tight and keep the faith!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Whilst each and every Camp that we work with offers an amazing and unique experience, your placement actually depends primarily on you, the applicant! All camps will require individuals with certain skills, and so you will more than likely be placed according to the skills listed on your AmeriCamp Canada application.<\/p>

For example, if your AmeriCamp Canada application outlines that you are an accomplished rock climber, then you will naturally be considered by Camps who are hiring for a Climbing Instructor role. Because of this, it may not always be possible to place you at a specific Camp of your choosing.<\/p>

We work with Camps all across Canada and guarantee that wherever you may be placed, your Camp will be just as special as any other! Ultimately Camp is Camp; the place you\u2019ll make lifelong friends, the place you\u2019ll long for once you\u2019re back home, and most importantly where you\u2019ll be having your summer of a lifetime along with your fellow Campers!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The best way to have a say in which area you are placed in is to attend one of the Camp Fairs. We hold these in January, these are the best way to go about meeting Camp Directors face-to-face and securing that dream job!<\/p>

However, we would recommend not getting too hung up on the location of the Camp, as Camp is an incredible experience wherever you are placed! Instead, engage your sense of adventure and don\u2019t get bogged down with only considering Camps in Toronto and Vancouver, for example! If there\u2019s somewhere that you are desperate to see, don\u2019t forget that you can use travel time after you\u2019re finished at Camp.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

For those looking to be placed together, you\u2019ll need to look at attending one of our Camp Fairs.<\/p>

Please be aware that this is not guaranteed, as it is the Camp Director\u2019s decision to hire more than one person at a time. It is more than possible that the Camp only have a position for one of your party, or that you don\u2019t all have the skills the Camp is looking for etc.<\/p>

We would advise that you always keep your options open, as we have found that some Camp Directors are put off from hiring friends as they believe that this prevents applicants from fully embracing the spirit of Camp.<\/p>

Don\u2019t let this put you off though, we can assure you that you\u2019ll have an incredible experience wherever you are placed, and you can always meet your friend\/partner at the end of Camp for your travel period. Plus you\u2019ll have more way more crazy Camp stories to share!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Most Camps will reach out to you via email, so it is important you check your mail daily. It is especially important to check your junk\/spam folders as well, as the email will be coming from a Canadian address and so may have been filtered incorrectly by your mailbox.<\/p>

Each year placements are lost because people don\u2019t respond to emails quickly enough, or they are lost in spam, so please don\u2019t be one of them! Make sure you are on the ball and are replying to Camps\/Camp Directors promptly.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We wouldn\u2019t advise you to turn down your first placement without speaking to us first; we will take a look at the reasons why the Camp might not suit you, and can make changes to your application.<\/p>

If you really feel that the Camp isn\u2019t the best fit we will do our best to place you elsewhere, however we can\u2019t guarantee you would be offered a second placement. All of the Camps we work with are truly amazing and you will have the summer of a lifetime \u2013 wherever you may end up!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our placement teams works extremely hard to ensure that all of our applicants have the very best chance of being placed, however, if we are unable to place you, we can defer your application over to next year and you will not have to pay any program fees that you have already paid to AmeriCamp Canada again.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We work with awesome Camp Directors to provide you the opportunity to work at Camp. They will start by taking a look through your application and may offer you an online interview. If all goes well, your placement will be confirmed shortly afterwards. It is also not unusual to be placed without an interview \u2013 if this happens, congratulations! This would suggest that the Camp Director must have really liked your application.<\/p>

We also run our Camp Fairs throughout the year where you have the opportunity to meet with Camp Directors face-to-face to secure your dream placement on the spot.
