Why you should work at camp.
Imagine spending your summer immersed in a vibrant community, surrounded by nature's beauty. As a young adult working at our summer camp, you'll become part of an extended family, forging lifelong bonds with fellow staff members and campers alike.
You'll have the opportunity to create unforgettable memories, from sleeping under starry skies, to cooking delicious food around a campfire. But beyond the fun, you'll have the chance to make a tangible impact on the lives of young people. By serving as a positive role model and guiding campers through new experiences, you'll inspire them to reach their full potential and cultivate a lifelong love for the outdoors. It's an opportunity to not only grow as an individual but also to leave a lasting legacy.
Staff Orientation and Work Weekend - June 5 - 7, 2026
Staff Training Camp - July 5 - 10, 2026 - Mandatory for employment
There are some things that are unique about being camp staff. Here are some of them:
- All camp staff need to be 16 by the start of our first camp session (There is an exception for any CITs from last summer who turn 16 this calendar year. You may apply for a Jr. Counsellor role.)
- You will live on site during your employment.
- Spring Staff usually work Monday to Friday staying on site during the week.
- Summer Staff usually work Sunday to Friday, starting at 4:00pm on Sunday and finishing around 5:30pm on Friday
- We feed you.
- All staff are fed during their time at camp. Spring staff prepare their meals together with food supplied by camp. During the summer the whole camp eats together in the Dining hall, enjoying 3 meals a day and 2 snacks. Some days it seems all we do is eat!
- Staff Training is paid.
- Both the Staff Orientation and the Staff Training Camp are paid days.
- Preference is given to applicants who can work all camp sessions but you don't have to work the whole summer. You do have to work a minimum of 3 camp sessions
- We would love for you to work all summer but we know that you have family vacations planned or some events that you can't get out of. We can accommodate that. Any camp weeks you do work, you will need to work the entire week.
- What if I have a weekly commitment or pre-planned event during the camp week?
- For a one-time occurrence (ex. graduation, prom, anniversary party) we can be flexible and work to accommodate the absence with advance notice. However, a weekly commitment that will take you away from camp regularly is not something we can accommodate. You are expected to be at camp Sunday afternoon until Friday afternoon (for regular camp sessions) with no absences.
- Dietary requirements can be accommodated
- We have great kitchen staff and can accommodate most dietary requirements.
- Cell Phones & Technology
- You will be required to store your phone in a locker when you are at camp. You will have limited access to it throughout the camp sessions. You will not be carrying your phone or a tablet with you while on site.
