- Crisis response and emergency protocols
- Safeguarding and child welfare procedures
- Community behaviour management
- Health and safety compliance
- Advocacy and oral communication
- Conflict resolution and de-escalation
- Leadership and independent decision making
The package
- ✔ Paid salary
- ✔ Housing fully covered for the entire summer
- ✔ All meals included
- ✔ All on-camp expenses covered
- ✔ College credit eligible

Who we're looking for
You don't need experience. You need drive. We're looking for someone who is:
- Dedicated and dependable
- A strong oral communicator
- Comfortable working independently
- Genuinely interested in people and community welfare
- Ready to step up and take ownership
Ideal for Human Services, Social Work, Public Health, Psychology, and Sociology majors — though all majors are welcome to apply.
Why this summer is different
Most internships ask you to watch. We ask you to lead. You'll finish the summer with real field experience, a strong professional reference, and a story that sets you apart in every job interview you walk into.
"The experience I gained in one summer eclipsed two years of volunteering. I referenced it in literally every job interview."
