From Summer Camp to New Adventures

Once the awesome summer camp comes to an end, an exciting world of new international adventures awaits. While some people might already have plans back home, for those who are ready to embark on their next adventure, we have the perfect plan!

The best way to continue your Canadian journey after summer camp is by working at a Canadian resort location, whether in the Summer or Winter, under a visa called the Working Holiday (International Experience Canada). This opportunity allows you to experience Canada’s stunning landscapes and vibrant culture year-round, making it an ideal next step after your summer camp stint.

Please note that to participate in a summer camp in Canada, you must be from a visa-exempt country. Only certain countries have agreements with International Experience Canada, so be sure to check our eligibility page here to see if we can assist you with a Working Holiday permit after your summer camp experience.

Scenario A: Planning Ahead Before You Start Your Summer Camp Experience

If you’re someone who loves to plan and wants to make the most of your time in Canada, this scenario is for you. By preparing in advance, you can seamlessly transition from your summer camp experience to an exciting winter season working on the stunning west coast in Alberta or British Columbia.

1. Sort Out Your Summer Camp Experience First!

• Focus on securing your summer camp position in Canada. Make sure you have all the necessary paperwork and preparations in place for a smooth and enjoyable summer.

2. Secure Your IEC Working Holiday in Advance

We offer job placements in resorts such as Whistler, Banff, Revelstoke, Sunshine Village, Lake Louise and many more!

By planning ahead, you can ensure a smooth and exciting transition from your summer camp to a working holiday, allowing you to experience the best of what Canada has to offer year-round.

Scenario B: Returning Home After Canada Summer Camp & Planning Your Return Via A Working Holiday Visa
