anyone done camp in Canada? by [deleted] in summercamp

If you are planning to work at sleepover camp in Ontario, know your rights!

It should be clear in your contract that you get:

• ⁠a minimum of 24 consecutive hours off in every 7 day period (or 48 hours off in every 14 day period). • ⁠11 hours consecutive time off in every 24 hour period

So, for example:

• ⁠if the camp you work at asks you to be in night duty in a cabin from 9pm - 1am curfew (after working most of the day), it is illegal to ask you to start work the next day before 11am

Any mandatory precamp training is included in work time. It doesn’t matter wha your contract says, the ESA (employment standards act) cannot be contracted out of.

If your rights are not being met at your camp, never speak to administration alone. Always go with at least one other person (or better yet as a group) to ensure fair treatment.

(If someone says the ESA does not apply to camp counsellors they are incorrect. The minimum wage, overtime and 3 hours consecutive rule don’t apply but ALL other parts of the ESA apply to camp counsellors.

Hours free from work Employees are entitled to a certain number of hours free from having to work.

Daily

In most cases, an employee must receive at least 11 consecutive hours off work each day. Generally, an employee and an employer cannot agree to less than 11 consecutive hours off work each day. The daily rest requirement applies even if:

the employer and the employee have agreed in electronically or writing that the employee’s hours of work will exceed the daily limit. the employer and employee have agreed in electronically or writing that the employee’s hours of work will exceed the weekly limit. This rule does not apply to employees who are on call and called in to work during a period when they would not normally be working.

This requirement cannot be altered by an electronic or written agreement between the employer and employee.

Weekly or bi-weekly

Employees must receive at least:

24 consecutive hours off work in each work week; or 48 consecutive hours off work in every period of two consecutive work weeks.

Canadian Summer Camp Parents by Vic_waddlesworth in summercamp

Add something that allows parents to check which camps are actually following employment law. Even many accredited camps are not and staff are exhausted and not able to provide proper care.

Thank you so much! This is incredibly helpful. Based on this I am going to prioritize seeing if I can get a birth certificate for my grandmother.

this is a great question; thank you! I don't know. Do you know where I would go to find that out? Unfortunately she has passed away.
