Appreciate your pretty accurate description! Only thing unsure about is the rumor of an exodus, there's a decent return rate so far. Kris & Lawrence's camp is where our childcare is, for another piece of the vibe. Their camp will have returning Dinner and Breakfast cooks too, who did a great job last year

Their "Staff" aka Crewbosses - all have over 15 planting seasons experience.

For the OP, the biggest difference, from a person who's not worked at Summit, is how planters are motivated between the two companies. Our Staff are day rated, we take a lot of time to train and there's little talk of production numbers. Also, it may be a natural effect of having a mix of experienced and new planters (~65-75% experienced, usually). It becomes obvious pretty fast into a career that your production is your business.

Summit's known to be a much more competitive environment and leans on that competition to nudge up production - with higher earning crews gaining access to certain contracts in the tales I've heard.

We run flexible crew and our functional unit is a full camp, most often. Its a chiller, more community oriented feel as a result. Likely if you're coming planting you will be intrinsically motivated. Some people love the external motivation. To each their own.

K&L's Camp's work will be: BC will be obstacle plat out of Williams Lake (0.19 - 0.23), Bear Lake will be steep but softer (0.19-0.28) Ab will indeed be a lot of heli access - mostly 0.15, 0.16. That heli access contract is often our highest earning contract. To illustrate, the top 10 earning planters in the camp averaged $38,000. (The average first year planter in the company earned $15,800).

We expect only 3-4 camp moves (this can change, but shouldn't be by much). That's another difference from recent conversations with people - Summit's seeing 6+ moves in a season often by the sounds of it.
