traditional
Most similar to what you've seen in the movies, these camps blend a variety of sports, wilderness, creative arts and special activities into their daily programs.
campers from an underprivileged background
Run by non-profit organizations, these traditional-style camps provide lower cost or free programming for underprivileged/disadvantaged youth who may never have been in the wilderness before. You can make a real difference to children's lives here!
faith-based
Operated by Christian or Jewish organizations, these camps provide a broad range of outdoor activities. Daily prayer, worship and religious study are typically not major camp activities; however, they may be part of daily camp life. You don't have to be religious to work in these camps, just open-minded.
special needs
These camps serve children and adults with disabilities. Some camps focus on providing adaptive facilities for physical limitations, some serve campers with developmental disabilities/behavioural challenges, and others integrate special needs campers into traditional camp settings. You don't need previous training in working with special needs, just the willingness to learn.
rustic
These camps are often in remote locations near provincial parks, and may have limited access to modern comforts like electricity and WiFi. There will be a focus on teaching wilderness skills to kids, and programs typically involve multi-day hiking or canoe excursions.
