Counsellors in Training

Our Counsellors in Training Camp focuses on building confidence and developing teamwork and leadership abilities. Through multiple workshops on topics such as communication, group facilitation, program planning and preparedness, along with interactive debriefing sessions, participants move a step closer to job readiness. They gain an in-depth understanding of program planning and group facilitation, as well as basic childcare practices. 

Volunteering is a major component. Youth in this camp are placed in ongoing Gee-Gees camps programs and matched with counsellors, to get hands-on working experience within a large team setting. . Counsellors in training can facilitate activities, set up programs, and support Gee-Gees campers in their experience with us.

Successful participants receive credit for 15+ volunteer hours and a personalized volunteer placement letter, as well as Safeguard certification. 

All camps are bilingual, and daily lunches are included with the cost of your camp.
