Our vision is to become a missional church of 10,000 meeting the emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of people in Jesus’ name. Reporting to the Camps Director (or designate), this position supports that vision by helping create a safe, engaging, and memorable summer camp experience for children and families in our community.
Operating mainly out of our Ajax site, our camp positions are full-time summer contracts.
Due to funding restrictions from Canada Summer Jobs, applicants are required to be Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or protected persons between the ages of 15 - 30. International students, — including those on a work permit or student visa — are not eligible.
In addition to working on-site in Ajax, successful candidates will also be required to travel to our Port Perry location for camp one week during the summer.
