Camp Voyageur

With these great opportunities come immense responsibilities to our customers, fellow counselors, the administration and camp. A typical contract will begin late-May and end mid-August. For two-weeks prior to the official start of our season, counselors will be thoroughly trained for leading both in-camp programs and wilderness trips. This will include a 4-5 canoe trip, Requirements for position: In order to lead wilderness trips, you will need to come to camp with CPR, First Aid, Wilderness First Aid and Lifeguard Training.
