What is a support staff role?
A support staff role at a camp includes a variety of behind-the-scenes jobs that help keep the camp running smoothly.
These roles don’t typically involve direct camper supervision like a counselor’s job but are just as essential.

Camp Canada provides great opportunities to young people, allowing them to travel, while also giving them key life lessons in the process. They help greatly with organising interviews, travel documents and insurance, whilst always providing security and safety during your camp experience.

I think camp is a really nice experience as you have the opportunity to meet new people and experience new areas in which you can apply your knowledge, and also to learn new things. In my daily life I do not work in kitchens, but here I am learning lots of new activities and enjoying meeting new friends and just everything that's involved in the camp experience.
