https://GoodWork.ca/948693

Position: Camp Counsellor

Organization: Environmental Education Commission
Location: Near St. John's,

Echo Pond Summer Camp/Environmental Education Commission is seeking a enthusiastic and responsible Camp Counsellor for the 2017 season, from July 3rd – August 30th. Please note that preference will be given for a male camp counsellor, as the quotient of female camp counsellors has been filled.

Preference will be given to students who are:
• Registered as full-time students for the preceding and next academic year
• Between the ages of 15-30 at the start of employment
• Must be Canadian Citizen, Permanent Resident, or Person to whom refugee status has been granted and legally entitled to work in Canada.

However, we are accepting applications from non-students as well.

Echo Pond is a nature camp, taking place about 1 hour 15 minutes from St. John’s in the Avalon Peninsula’s beautiful ‘Fog Forest’ at the Brother Brennan Environmental Education Centre. Camp Counsellors will be part of a dynamic team, focused on providing positive outdoor experiences for a diverse group of children and teens, age 7-15. Camps range from 3-5 days and are overnight. The Echo Pond program is designed using principles of Experiential and Earth Education.

The ideal candidate:
• Enjoys working with kids
• Has an interest and knowledge in ecology, sustainability and the environment (university or college courses in a related field would be an asset)
• Is reasonably fit and enjoys spending time outdoors (experience and training in canoeing, outdoor skills, and gardening would all be assets)
• Has an interest and willingness to do simple acting/theatre
• Works well in a team environment
• Is adaptable, motivated and caring
• Must complete First Aid/CPR certification before the start of camp

Other camp counsellor skills that would be beneficial for these positions, include an ability to: play a musical instrument or lead campfire songs; teach yoga and meditation; and lead arts and crafts sessions. If you have another skill that you think would be a great contribution to camp, please let us know on your cover letter.

We will provide:
• Paid training
• Transportation to and from St. John’s
• Meals and accommodation, during time at camp

Camp Counsellors will get paid for 275-285 hours over the course of the summer. Wage will be dependent on funding, but will range between $11 and $13 per hour.

Resumes and Cover letters should be emailed to: echopondjobs at gmail.com

Applications will be accepted until April 30th, but interviews and hiring will take place on a rolling basis, so apply now!

We are proud to be an LGBTQ-friendly organization!
