Work at Summer Camp in Canada
Canadian Summer Camps Can’t Wait to Welcome You!
Working at an accredited Summer Camp is a transformative experience. Not only will you make friendships and connections that last a lifetime, you will have the ability to experience Canada’s incredible geography.
It's a chance to step up as a leader and work with other counsellors to guide and mentor younger kids.
You'll gain practical skills in communication, problem-solving, and teamwork that employers and colleges look for. Plus, you'll be living and working in some of Canada's beautiful natural settings, surrounded by new friends from different places. It's an opportunity to grow your confidence, build a strong resume, and make lasting connections, all while having a truly memorable summer.
