Camp and fly-in fly-out work can bring steady pay and a block of time back home, which matters when family, community and seasonal responsibilities are part of your life. Roles run from housekeeping and kitchen work to trades, driving and site operations, often at remote mines and work camps across northern Canada. Below are current camp listings, followed by what to ask before you accept a rotation, and where to find support for training.

What to ask before you accept a rotation
Every employer sets its own terms, and they can differ a lot from one site to the next. A clear answer to these questions now can save a hard surprise later.
1
What is the schedule?
Rotations are often written as days in and days out, such as two weeks on and two weeks off. Ask how long each shift runs, and whether the schedule can change.
2
Who pays for travel?
Ask where flights leave from and whether your trip from home to that pick-up point is covered. If you live in a remote community, raise this early.
3
What is camp life like?
Ask about rooms, meals, internet and phone service, and whether the site is dry. Reliable contact with home matters more to some people than the pay.
4
Which tickets do you need first?
Some sites ask for safety training, a medical or a drug and alcohol test before your first flight. Ask what is required, and who covers the cost.
5
What support is there for Indigenous staff?
Ask if the employer has a community agreement in place, Indigenous hiring goals, or cultural leave. Ask how time away for ceremony, harvest or a family emergency is handled.

+ What does fly-in fly-out mean?
You live in your home community and travel to a remote worksite for a set rotation. You stay in camp while you are on shift, then travel home for your days off.
+ What is a camp job?
A camp job is based at a remote worksite where staff live on site. Mines, oil and gas sites and large construction projects often use camps. Staff there include cooks, housekeepers, trades and equipment operators.
+ Do I need experience to work at a camp?
It depends on the job. Some general helper, housekeeping and kitchen roles are open to people without site experience, while trades and operator roles usually need certificates. Check the listing, and ask an ISET office about training.
