Easter Seals camp staff are a group of dedicated individuals that come together with one common goal – giving campers the best week of their summer! Staff gain a vast amount of experience as we provide a 3:1 camper to staff ratio, which is significantly larger than the 8:1 or 10:1 that you’d find at other sleep-over summer camps.
You’ll also find the impact of working with Easter Seals goes beyond one summer.
Choose your location:
Camp Squamish location dates are June 18th to August 10th.
Camp Winfield/Camp Shawnigan location dates are June 8th to August 29th.
Applications are reviewed and interviews are conducted on an ongoing basis until June. We encourage you to apply early in the season, as it is a very competitive process. Only qualified applicants will be contacted for an interview that will be set up through Zoom. Be prepared to show a bit of your creative side!
All staff must have proof of a Standard First Aid and CPR-C prior to the start date. A criminal record check completed within 6 months of the start of camp with a vulnerable sector search is also mandatory. We also recommend a Hep A and B vaccination prior to employment.
