Summer Volunteers (ages 14 to 18)

Job Description: 

Summer volunteers are an integral part of Art In The Park. Many of our campers return as volunteers as a stepping stone to becoming a camp counsellor. Volunteers assist at the artist stations and also help to run sports and games, arts and crafts activities and sand and water play. Volunteering is a great way to build on leadership, communication and work skills before transitioning into employment.
