If you are passionate, energetic, mature, and motivational, then apply to join our Summer Camp program as a seasonal part-time or full-time instructor for kids ages 3-12!

Offering positions for up to 11 weeks from the end of May until mid-August, Birons welcomes over 1000 children each summer in various camp programs. This is a seasonal part-time or full-time position, with additional opportunities during spring break and winter holidays.

Anyone hired under 18 will be classified as a Junior Camp Counselor and will not lead their own group independently.

Responsibilities include: leading a group of 8-10 campers, collaborating with your team to bring camp themes and activities to life, daily set-up and clean-up, and other assigned duties.

Remember, you're a superhero for the campers, learning from your words, habits, and deeds.

You will engage with your group using a planned curriculum, interact actively rather than supervise passively, and strive daily to create positive, memorable experiences for the kids.
