Responsibilities: <\/strong><\/p>\n

As a Summer Day Camp Counsellor at the YMCA of Owen Sound Grey Bruce, you will be responsible for providing leadership and supervision to a group of campers, ensuring their safety and well-being throughout the camp day. You will plan, organize, and lead various activities such as arts and crafts, sports, educational games, and outdoor adventures, tailored to the campers’ interests and developmental needs. Your role will also include fostering social, emotional, and physical skill development, encouraging teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. Effective communication with campers, their families, and fellow staff members is essential for providing updates and addressing any concerns.

Job Requirements:<\/strong><\/p>\n

You must be legally entitled to work in Canada and have Standard First Aid and CPR-C certification.

These police record checks are reviewed on an individual basis, and the offense(s) – if any – is considered in the decision-making process in relation to the requirements of the position, therefore not eliminating all candidates with a record from being offered gainful employment.<\/p>\n
