I tried to see the best in it and I showed up to camp the first week I was scheduled, just to be called again and told I had no more weeks to work. Well, I got a call about two weeks before summer began saying 'we overhired, and yes you signed the contract so we can give you a minimum of 4 weeks' I was devastated! I needed a stable income and this was not providing it. I took the job, knowing I had a poor experience the past summer but the pay would look okay next to my tuition fees. I was hired for my second year at Royal City (I only took the job because everything else I had set up fell through) and I was promised 8 weeks minimum with a nice $500 bonus at the end of the summer. Regardless of the - more.Īs a student attending University, this job was an absolute nightmare. Other factors influencing this were that I had expressed in confidence to co-workers that I felt out of my element, having never worked in that kind of setting previously, and additionally, another supervisor was placed at my camp for that week, and decided he would lie about me to our boss to get my hours for himself. One day I sprained my ankle while at work, and that night I was let go. (feedback which I made very clear I would be more than open to) I repeat I received only positive feedback, and parents in particular were extremely happy with my work ethic and how I went above and beyond to look after their kids. I worked as a supervisor for them for 7 weeks, with nothing but positive feedback from the kids, parents, facility staff, and my staff. Make no mistake summer camp workers are just extremely underpaid babysitters. (for example, there were crayons and markers for kids to colour with, but a camp was only ever given 10 pieces of paper a week, which for a camp of 15 kids is not nearly enough) Additionally, they are very stingy with supplies, which causes staff to feel guilty and provide things for the kids out of their own pockets.

one thing to know is that there are almost no legal protections for summer camp workers! Staff are underpaid, and required to work regular overtime (minimum of 10 hours a day, no overtime pay) Wage worked out to approximately 13 dollars an hour when Alberta minimum wage is 15 dollars.

The company makes it sound like you'll have a great time all the time and that it is a low-pressure environment.
