Request for time off

On occasion we allow staff to take a day or two off for milestone events like weddings and important graduations.

All extra time off must be arranged and approved before you start. If you already know some dates you are unavailable, please enter them below:

Reason for time off

Additional responsibilities

Choosing an area you'd be willing to assist in leading or helping out with doesn't mean you are signing up to lead but rather an area you'd be willing to be considered to lead. We will be asking people closer to the start of the summer if they would be interested in leading a specific activity.

Are you interested in becoming a lifeguard for free? *

We need lifeguards at camp in order to run our daily free swim time. All our lifeguards also perform another job at camp (counsellor, program team, kitchen, etc). However, getting your Bronze Cross or NL certification will give you an increase in weekly pay.

You have the option of getting certified at another pool or location (you must do this for NL certification at this time) and we will cover the cost OR you can choose to sign up for the FREE certification/recertification course for Bronze Cross level we run in June at Scott Mission Camp. These courses are taught by our Director and are exclusively for SMC staff. We will fully support you in this process so please let us know if you would like more information about how you can go about being certified before the summer.

If you answered "yes" or "maybe" to being interested in becoming a lifeguard for free, what is the highest level of swimming lessons you have completed?

If you are Bronze Cross certified, are you interested in recertifying for free at Scott Mission Camp?
