Do I need to have qualifications?
No, we are looking for enthusiasm and participants who are open to learning new skills. If you’re applying to work in a more specialized role, it helps if you have qualifications and experience.
Will I receive training?
All camps will host a training period before camp starts. The length of this training period does depend on the type of camp you are at and the type of role you have at camp. Camp training can range anywhere from 2 - 10 days, although some camps do send out training materials well ahead of camp starting.
Camp training is often a highlight of your camp placement. Use pre-camp training time to get to know your fellow camp-mates, ask questions and learn as much as you can! If we can offer you one piece of advice about pre-camp training, it is to jump into it!
Do I need to have experience working in these roles?
No, as long as you’re willing to work hard and learn new skills. Any experience will be a bonus, no matter how small.
