Canvas/Eurocamp/Keycamp holiday work 08

Hey my name is mike. I'm buzzing to work abroad on a camp this summer and I'm just hessetent on which camp/company to choose. Ive done my application for camp leaders america. And with that company its the same situation low pay good experience. But with camp america you pay something like £590 all together and that includes flights,food an acomadation then lowest u get paid is 800 us. I was just wondering how much is it with key camps . way up my options .

uniform is something like:

2 shirts
3 t-shirts
1 trousers
2 shorts
1 jacket
1 fleece
1 hat

Take as much or as little as you want. However remember the training is in Holland and yoour campsite is in France so you've gotta be able to travel with all your gear.

Do we do our training in Holland before we go or while we are there? And do we pay for it or do they? I have just applied to be a courier for Eurocamp 🙋

You'll all get picked up in a coach and taken to Holland on your first day. Training there is 3 days I believe and at the end of it they'll tell you which sites you're going to. You then travel directly to the site. You get paid for the training.

Oh sounds good, thankyou

- Yeah i enjoyed the people and interacting with the customers alot. If it hadnt have been for all the cleaning it would have been amazing

- My job role was campsite courier (the most common). Which basically means 60% cleaning/preparing accomodation and 40% customer services (dealing with complaints, paperwork, visiting etc)

- Only take 1 bag which you can move pretty easily. Your uniform comes in a seperate bag which they give you. I had to travel on 2 trains, 2 coaches and accross the Paris underground to get to my campsite so you have to be able to carry all your stuff quickly and easily!

- Everyone was very friendly. When you're all living in tents together for 3 months your eally get to know eachother. I was sharing my tent with 2 amazing hot ladies

- It was very hard work, make no mistake. You're literally working from 8am - 6/7pm everyday. If you're on duty then you may have to stay at the reception as late as 11pm. And of corse customers can come and find you at any time. The cleaning is particularly hard and very boring!


Overall it was great, i absoloutly loved it... but I'd never do it again! It's one of those things you do once and then never again :P

Hey,

I recently applied for holiday courier and got through to do an online assessment, but not sure what to expect, what kind of questions do they ask?

Emma

Probably examples of when you've given good customer service, or overcome a challenging situation etc.

Thanks, do you know what kind of things I might be asked at the interview?
