FAQs
Yes! You’re welcome to use the camp facilities in your downtime, but make sure you check the rules and availability for each activity with your camp. For example, using the waterfront requires a lifeguard for safety, so always confirm with your camp director before accessing certain areas.
You can't choose your camp outright, as each Camp Director has the ultimate say over the staff they hire. In order to help you find the right camp, we've allowed you to set your preferences in your profile. When Camp Directors come across these preferences, they'll reach out, and you can decide when to accept and confirm your placement at a camp!
Your camp job is your gateway to Canada, and once summer wraps up, we can connect you with trusted employers, often in resorts across Alberta and British Columbia. While post-camp roles aren’t guaranteed, we’ll guide you so you don’t have to worry about finding your next adventure!
IEC work permits are usually issued based on the length of your health insurance. For example, if you only had insurance for 5 months when you first arrived, you would have received a 5-month work permit. If you later decide you want to stay longer, unfortunately, you can’t change or extend the conditions of your existing work permit.
You can apply for our Work & Travel Program at any time, and we’ll guide you through the next steps based on where you’re at in the process. For the IEC specifically, the best time to apply is usually between December and March, when pools are open and invitations are being issued.
