Help CenterOver the course of the summer, you will be challenged, mostly positively, but there also might be times you feel stressed, tested or tired. We want you to be happy and have the best experience possible.
If you do feel like you need a little more help, use the chain-of-command at your camp for help, speak to more experienced camp staff or contact Camp Canada's wellbeing team.
I'm thinking about leaving my job at camp, what should I do?
Over the course of the summer, you may feel stressed or overwhelmed. You may feel the desire to end your contract at camp and return home. Remember that many others are in the same boat - you can lean on your camp staff team, other international counselors, friends, family, or the 24/7 Camp Canada support line for help. You may be able to overcome the challenge, complete your contract, and spend time exploring Canada after camp.
If you do decide to leave camp early, and this should only be after you’ve exhausted every possibility of staying, you must contact the Camp Canada office before you leave camp at 1-416-932-1370.
I have been fired from my job at camp, what should I do?
Know your camp rules and follow them. If you break the camp rules, the consequences are that you will be fired.
Most camps have contracts that contain language relating to “at will employment”. This means that camp can fire you at any time. Camps may choose to exercise this option when the situation calls for it.
Once the decision has been made for you to leave camp, you may be asked to leave camp immediately.
If you are fired or leave early, you need to contact the Camp Canada office immediately.
If you are travelling after camp, the Camp Canada team will be there to support you throughout this time. Our primary concern is your health, safety, and welfare for the entirety of your time in Canada.
