Job description

Find your dream job in our Jewish Community

Let go of everyday routines and tune into the great outdoors. Our outpost camps, located in remote locations of the Upper Peninsula or Wawa, Ontario, are rustic wilderness programs for high school teens that focus on hiking, canoeing and creating strong and meaningful communities in nature.

• Be responsible for the care and well-being of campers, as a friend, teacher and role model
• Plan and lead all camping trips
• Develop and implement creative programming
• Assist with meal preparation and clean-up
• Obtain lifeguard and wilderness first-aid certification (provided for all staff)
• Live in a remote wilderness location
• Sleep in a tent on camping trips

Due to the nature of this program, staff are not permitted time off and must be available around the clock for campers. While at base camp, staff have separate sleeping quarters from the campers. When on camping trips, staff will sleep in tents at primitive wilderness campsites with no amenities — that is, unless you count the Northern Lights, breathtaking sunsets and the call of the loon.
