Camp Counselors Canada is another exciting cultural exchange program from CCUSA. We give you the opportunity to work at a Canadian summer camp for 8-10 weeks during the North American summer.

There are 800 residential and day camps in Canada, which are very similar to the camps in the U.S. The camps are spread out across eight provinces with the largest population of camps in Ontario. The first camps in Ontario started at the same time as camps in the US, between 1890 – 1900. There are over 300 summer camps currently operating in Ontario. The majority of the other 500 camps are located in Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an amazing summer experience. You will form close friendships and live in a beautiful setting in one of the most unspoiled parts of the world.

We offer two great program options, with the possibility to continue working before and/or after camp has finished.

• Counselors – eight to ten weeks (May/June – August)
• Age limit: 19-26
• Support Staff – eight to ten weeks (May/June – August)
• Age limit: 19-27/28
