Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a timeline for applying?
We’ll continue to place successful applicants until
all the roles are filled. We need applicants for Camp
Directors to have their application in by Feb
1, 2010. The rest of
the staff applications will be reviewed and scheduled for
interviews after that time.
When can I expect an interview?
Most interviews will take place in the second half of February
and the first half of March. We will prioritize our interviews
by trying to place our “Director” teams first
then we’ll get to the other roles after that. This
is so we can have input from the people in the Director
roles about their staff team.
There don’t seem to be as many volunteer positions
as there have been in the past.
We have very specific roles for volunteers this year as most
of our positions require an additional full week of on-site
training. If you are qualified for a role designated as an
"employee"
position, can commit to the additional
training time (usually
in the
week
before camp starts) as well as commit to your volunteer period
at camp, then consideration will be given on an individual
basis to have this position filled by a volunteer. The roles
we’ve
identified for volunteers this year have lots of support
built in so
they’re
more flexible to have people receive “on the job” training.
We value our volunteers – WE NEED YOU! We have
more volunteer opportunities this year.
How will volunteer placement occur?
Once we’ve received your volunteer application, your
information will be reviewed for completeness then sent over
to a volunteer placement person. She’ll give you a
call and will discuss the details of the role with you. Expect
to be contacted
within 2 weeks of receiving your application if we receive
it after February 1, 2010. Applications received prior to
that time may take us until the beginning of February to
process.
Do your camps reimburse for qualifications?
We
don’t reimburse people for qualifications they
are required to have (or obtain) for the positions they’re
applying for. However, we do pay more to people who take
positions that require more than basic qualifications. Through
Girl Guides and other qualifying bodies, we offer many different
opportunities for training. When we are running our own courses
or trainings, we always offer these courses at cost to our
Summer Camps employees and volunteers.

Volunteers for Summer Camps
You don’t have to be a Guiding Member to volunteer
at Summer Camp (although we need some Guiders as well)! Please
share the word with moms (or significant female adults) that
there are volunteer opportunities at all of our camps. All
volunteer and employee position descriptions, an organizational
chart and applications are listed at http://www.guidesontario.org/camping/campemployment.htm.
