Working at a Summer Camp has many perks, not just while you're at camp but, years later the impact will stay with you. So, what are you doing this summer? Are you looking for an opportunity to take on a leadership or support staff role related to your interests? Are you looking for a way to make a meaningful contribution to a camper's summer? Whether your passion is: Scouts, aquatics, boating, camping, outdoor adventure skills, food preparation, or maintenance - every part of our team directly impacts the campers who visit us each year. The Haliburton Scout Reserve (HSR) is looking for a few enthusiastic, energetic and excited people: who love working with Scouts, want to have fun, can contribute a unique personality to our team (extroverts, introverts, planners, reactors , motivators, listeners, thinkers, doers, problem solvers etc.), and want to be awesome and help others have "the best summer ever". You can do it! Click here to learn about joining our staff team. 2019 SLS Algonquin Cub-Scout Canoe Camp Information
