The Day Camp Coordinator provides direction and support for our campers and staff. Applicants should aspire to improve their management skills in a supportive team atmosphere. The Day Camp Coordinator will split their time working directly with the Program Manager on administrative tasks and planning program content like hikes, outdoor skills, Eco Fun courses, and campfires. Given that all staff and campers stay onsite at the Evans Lake Forest Education Centre while camp is in session, the action never stops. Accordingly, applicants should enjoy working in a dynamic work environment. Strong organizational and interpersonal skills are a must for this role, as well as a yearning for an endless summer!
