More About Camp

Together with our partners in Canada we work with accredited summer camps all across the country. Most are located in Ontario with the rest spread through Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta. All of the camps are located away from the big cities in beautiful remote areas.

Accommodation varies from camp to camp and can depend on your role. Be prepared to share your space with other staff and campers.

Camps divide their time between active programming and creative programming and evenings are typically spent in all-camp activities or special cabin programming.

Most camps will provide a 24-hour block of time off each week for staff with a few opting for multiple days off in a row every few weeks instead.

Remember since you'll be working with children there are strict rules around behaviour, alcohol and drugs.
