Staff Hiring – Spring and Summer 2021

Please note that the date for resuming Camp Stephens operations remains unknown at this time.
Public health restrictions and/or operational requirements may prevent our re-opening in 2021.

At Camp Stephens, we do more than offer great outdoor experiences - we provide campers with a wide range of programs that encourage personal growth, improve interpersonal relationships, build identity, expand boundaries, instill values and impart positive behaviour.

Fun and personally rewarding, Camp Stephens is a unique workplace - 24 hours a day, six days a week and living in close quarters with many other people. Successful camp applicants demonstrate the ability to be positive role models, represent our philosophy, contribute to a child-centered environment and help provide opportunities for campers to develop as individuals. Maturity, flexibility, self-motivation, being a team player and having the ability to help children enjoy positive experiences and healthy growth are key to all positions at Camp Stephens.
