The majority of our counsellors are university and college students (some secondary school students are hired each year, as well). We also employ teachers who want to create an impact in the summer months, as well as graduates of teachers colleges across Ontario. A recent Vulnerable Sector Police Check is mandatory for all counsellors. There will be at least one counsellor present at each camp location with their First Aid certification at all times.

Campers must be 5 years of age on or before December 31, 2023 and must have completed SK by the time camp begins, to be eligible to attend camp. If your camper does not meet this age requirement, camp options will not be available for selection in the next step of the registration process. Unfortunately, exceptions cannot be made as programming and camp structure is designed for campers aged 5 – 13 years.
