You’ll work with an inclusive, hands-on, collaborative group that takes youth on canoe trips in Algonquin Park. For many campers, this will be their first wilderness experience, and you'll be sharing your knowledge and love of the outdoors.
The program is cost covered. All costs associated with the placement are paid for directly by Outlook, as Outlook provides accommodation, food, and trainings. Outlook also covers the cost of valuable certifications, including CPR "C"/ First Aid, Bronze Cross, Advanced Wilderness First Aid, ORCKA Level 1, and Mental Health First Aid. You'll be getting your hands dirty and learning how to solve problems on the fly – from teaching youth to paddle to starting fires in the rain.
No canoeing or guiding experience necessary – just a willingness to learn!
Who you are
Curious and adventurous – you genuinely like learning from people and jumping into new challenges.
Great communicator – you listen first, then share knowledge.
You’re stoked on spending time outdoors.
Bonus points if you
Camp Outlook starts with 4 weeks of staff training in May, where you'll build the skills and experience you need to lead youth on canoe trips. You'll lead 3 youth canoe trips between June and August, ranging from 5 to 14 days in total.
