WELCOME Summer Staff

"What could be better than being a kid coming to Rainbow Day Camp? Well nothing beats that, but being a Rainbow Day Camp counsellor is a close second..."

 

 Rainbow is seeking Camp Counsellors who are outgoing, creative, fun, able to laugh at themselves, love being outside, not afraid to act silly, responsible, love being with children, have previous camp experience and want to have an unforgettable summer! All of our Staff are required to provide evidence of current first aid certification (Standard First Aid and CPR 'C')and a Criminal Reference Check. Also mandatory for hiring is certification in the HIGH FIVEŽ Principles of Healthy Child Development; a workshop is made available by Rainbow. Aquatic certification (i.e. Instructor's, NLS) is an asset.

 

Rainbow recruits university and college students and exceptional high school students. Participation in a full week of training and orientation is mandatory for staff prior to camp

Read what previous staff have had to say about their experience working at Rainbow Day Camp:

 
"Rainbow is a unique and positive environment. It represents everything camp is about – acceptance, socializing and having fun. Rainbow changes lives and hearts through its incredible staff. "
- Peter, Inclusion Counsellor 2009
 "Rainbow is a special place. No other camp I have worked at has had staff that connect as well with the children and each other as Rainbow. The atmosphere of friendship permeates every aspect of the day. "
- Sky, Inclusion Counsellor 2009
 "This summer at Rainbow was so awesome. I would work for another 9 weeks if I could! Rainbow’s inclusive attributes make it the perfect camp for everyone of all ages! "
- Matt, Senior Counsellor 2009
 "Being an inclusion counsellor let me know that I can make a difference to one child for a whole week. I could offer them the opportunity to make friends, master crafts and games, be silly and make memories. After this summer, I can’t think of a better way I’d want to spend the rest of my life, then continuing to help children with physical and developmental disabilities. Learning what it takes to make every activity inclusionary opened my eyes so much, and has shown me that these children can teach me as much as I can teach them. Week after week I found myself blown away by camper’s wise words, witty jokes, and sensible reasoning. I’ve loved every moment I spent with staff and campers this summer and am sad it is coming to a close."
- Kim, Inclusion Counsellor 2009
