FAQ's

Every day at camp is different due to the activities on offer but click below for our general timings at camp. 

A Barracudas Day

A: Ahead of camp, days off must be authorised by your recruiter in writing. During camp, you must speak to your Camp Manager to request a day off.

A: For 2020, Barracudas will provide all new staff with branded uniform consisting of 2 T-shirts (3 for Lifeguards) and a jumper which can be kept when you finish working with us. Any staff that worked in 2019 and return to work in a future season will need to use the jumper that we have previously provided, however you will still be given 2 new branded T-shirts every season.  

A: Wages vary depending on your role, age and experience. The wages can be viewed on the job descriptions of each job role. Payroll is processed on the last day of camp and will land 5 working days later. In summer, there may be an additional payroll processed earlier in the season, depending on when the camp you are working at opens.

A: We offer the opportunity for children to book onto our intensive courses for an additional fee. These include: Motor Mania, Lab Rats (fun based science experiments), Dance Fusion, STEM Works and Swim School. They focus on a small group of the same children for an hour a day to progress their skills in that area. As these courses are progressive, children must be booked in for the full week in order to attend. Some instructors will be involved in running these courses.

A: Our theme days are a great excuse for everyone to dress up, have a good time and are loved by children and staff, so don’t miss your chance to take part in it! Theme days will take place on the last day of each week. For more information on themes and dates please see the Theme Days page.

A: You'll get wet! We can't organise the weather but we do have a wet weather programme which swings into operation when it becomes too bad to be outside. If it is light rain we will continue outside, so make sure you bring adequate outdoor clothing.
