STEM Camp Referral Program

the STEM Camp referral program makes it easy for you to refer talented individuals to work at STEM Camp.

Each year, STEM Camp is on the lookout for enthusiastic and talented individuals to help us create an unforgettable summer camp experience and make a difference in our campers’ lives. Do you think you know someone who could make an awesome addition to our team? 

More specifically, do you know someone who:

  • Is passionate about science, technology, engineering and math and loves working with kids?
  • Has an enthusiastic, patient and upbeat attitude?
  • Is a great organiser, team worker and collaborator?
  • Has excellent communication and interpersonal skills?
  • Has a high school diploma or is enrolled in post secondary studies?
  • Is looking for a summer job?

If you answered “YES!” then please help us bring even more fun and learning to the STEM Camp experience by referring a bright individual in your social circle (or your family!) to work at STEM Camp. 

You’ll be helping to connect our campers (kids aged 5-13) to vibrant and trustworthy staff members. Together, they will build memories (and job experience) that will serve them for a lifetime.

  1. Refer someone from your network via the Referral form.
  2. The person you refer will then receive an email from STEM Camp, letting them know that you think they’d be a great fit, and inviting them to apply.
