Hi there, I've been tasked to "provide support" to the Orientation Camp this summer and was wondering if anyone had experience being staff there. I'm not too concerned about anything, it's a short tasking, just curious. I know the recruits don't get weekends off, will the staff take turns or will everyone stick around every weekend? Also, I notice I get there 25 July and the recruits don't get there until 8 August, what will those 2 weeks consist of, and what sort of duties will I have once the recruits arrive?

Being staff on the orientation camp is no different than any other course you will be the marching `nco/officer` or back up once or twice in the two week period. If your not teaching on a specific day, the day is pretty much yours to prepare or do with what you will (minus daily Ogrp). The weekend still has classes scheduled in it with a bit of forced fun for the troops so don`t expect the whole weekend off but a day/night is usually in the books
The augmentee staff for the civvy U guys showed up on the 25th as we piggyback on the instructor standardization of the 3 week staff at CMR which starts earlier. Then we carry on prepping for the arrival of the troops.
The staff and the support at CMR is top notch, I had a great time there last year.

Is this part of the Black Bear/Raven reserves training for aboriginal youth?
I do believe there is some orientation the first week including some cultural training. I participated in a similar but not exact program. From the descriptions of what people are saying, this is what it sounds like a bit....
