If your have a high level of energy and love working with elementary school aged children, this summer camp leader position (30 hours per week) could be a good fit for you. Successful candidates may continue into the fall with part time before/after school shifts (9 to 25 hours per week) that can work around their studies. There are also shifts available in the after school program (2:15pm - 6:00pm) between now and summer, which we would like the leader to help out with to prepare for the summer season. The leader will also help drive our vans for short field trips, so must be comfortable driving a van with children in it.

Our dynamic team of caregivers bring so much more than just supervision to our programming. Our school year programming includes art, music, homework help, financial awareness activities, and outdoor recreation time. The summer camp activities add in trips to the beach/swimming pools, more outdoor playtime, weekly projects like designing and building a city plus more.

Our ideal candidates must be comfortable leading groups of 12 or more children. Experience or education supporting youth with challenging behaviour is also highly valued. Our candidates should be comfortable with positive behavioural support strategies and critical thinking skills or have a desire to learn these skills (as we will train you)!
