More Than a Summer Job. An Experience That Shapes Your Future.

Spend your summer living and working in the heart of Algonquin Provincial Park, Canada's oldest provincial park and one of its most spectacular wilderness destinations.

At The Taylor Statten Camps (TSC), We’re looking for enthusiastic, responsible, and adventurous individuals to join our team of counsellors and program staff at Camp Ahmek and Camp Wapomeo on Canoe Lake.

A summer at TSC is an opportunity to develop real-world leadership skills, build lifelong friendships, take on meaningful responsibility, and make a lasting impact on the lives of young people.

Whether you're studying education, outdoor recreation, environmental sciences, business, healthcare, or simply looking for an experience that sets you apart, the skills you'll develop at camp will serve you long after the summer ends.

Available Positions

Camp Counsellors

Counsellors are at the heart of the camper experience. You'll live alongside campers, mentor and support them, foster an inclusive and positive cabin environment, and help young people develop confidence, independence, and resilience. All counsellors lead canoe trips.

Program & Activity Staff

Share your skills and enthusiasm while helping campers discover new interests and develop their abilities. Opportunities exist across a wide range of activities, including:

• Canoeing, swimming (RLSS), sailing, kayaking and SUP
• Outdoor education, camping skills, and wilderness tripping
• Athletics, tennis, and other land sports
• High ropes and climbing
• Arts, crafts, woodworking, camp craft, music, ecology, music, and drama

Specialized experience or certifications may be required for certain program positions.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking individuals who:

• Bring energy, initiative, and a positive attitude to their work
• Enjoy working with children and being part of a collaborative team
• Demonstrate leadership, adaptability, and sound judgment
• Are comfortable living and working in a remote "rustic be design" wilderness environment
• Have a genuine appreciation for the outdoors and experiential learning
• Are ready to contribute to a community built on friendship, responsibility, and shared experience

Important: A current Bronze Cross certification is required for all counselling positions. Additional qualifications may be required depending on the position.

What You'll Gain

A summer at TSC develops skills that employers value across industries:

• Leadership: Take responsibility, motivate others, and lead by example
• Communication: Build relationships, navigate challenges, and work with diverse groups
• Problem-Solving: Think independently, make decisions, and adapt to changing situations
• Teamwork: Collaborate in a close-knit community where every role matters
• Resilience: Build confidence, independence, and resourcefulness through meaningful challenges

And you'll do it all while living on Canoe Lake, surrounded by the forests, lakes, and wilderness of Algonquin Park.
