Interested applicants must complete an application and submit references.

What YOU Want to Know!

Applications are done through https://campbigcanoe.campbrainstaff.com/

Please use your personal e-mail (many high school emails do not allow outside people to email you).

Only apply for the job(s) you are qualified for and interested in. While we appreciate the enthusiasm it requires time to review applications. Some jobs have minimum age requirements based on OCA or Royal Lifesaving Society standards. The application process does allow you to indicate alternative roles you might be interested in.

Our hiring process involves hiring a team so job offers are done in December which may be weeks after your interview. Please be patient!

Camp Big Canoe offers successful applicants long hours, smiles, laughter and fun. We are a positive and supportive community where you will know everybody (~ 40 staff and 90 campers), share accommodation, receive room and board, compensation, lifelong memories and a big thank you at the end of the summer.
