You’ll have a wonderful adventure while gaining valuable experience. Get paid to have fun, be silly, grow as a person, and make a difference in so many people’s lives.

We promise that you will have so many magical moments at Camp. Whether it’s helping campers practice for the talent show and performing with them if you want, teaching them a new dance, making a dessert over the campfire, helping them navigate the challenges of new friendships and understanding social cues, celebrating their successes when they learn to water ski or ride a horse for the first time, hit the archery target, catch a football, sink a basket or when they just say thank you for spending time with them and giving them a great day.
Our camp counsellors and senior staff come back year after year. Many have met their partners at Camp and made life-long friends. All will tell you that their time at camp brought out the best in them! Our incredible staff make dreams come true by helping our campers have the summers of their lives.

camp counsellors MAKE real impacts!
Who we want to join our camp counseller & staff team:
- Caring, responsible, enthusiastic people aged 17 or older with a good sense of humor, patience and a strong desire to give Kennebecers the summer of their lives.
- It’s not necessary to have experience working with kids, teens and young adults with special needs but you must be willing to learn.
- For senior staff positions, our ideal candidates have experience working with kids, teens and young adults with autism, ADHD, special needs and other challenges. Certifications like ECE, B.ED, DSW, OT, CYW, RBT or PSW are an asset.
- Each summer, we hire cabin counsellors, lifeguards, waterfront, heath centre, horseback riding, land sports, nature skills, woodworking, arts and crafts specialists, and supervisory staff.
- All prospective staff members must supply a current police background check including what is known in Ontario as VSS – Vulnerable Sector Screening, prior to starting work. Here is the link to the Toronto Police Services VSS web page, if you would like more information. If you live outside the Province of Ontario, you will need to provide Camp with the Vulnerable Sector Screening equivalent in your jurisdiction.
It was the endless list of activities that brought me to Camp Kennebec the first time. But it was the unbeatable staff and campers that brought me back each year. The look on the campers’ faces when they arrive mirrors the excitement I feel after waiting 46 weeks for the next “first day”. And the look on their faces as they leave reminds me why I keep coming back. It might be sad to say Goodbye, but nothing beats the next HI!
