Each Group Leader is responsible for the planning and delivery of age-appropriate activities for a particular age group of campers: Kinder Camp (ages 4 & 5), Intermediate (6 & 7), Junior (8 & 9), Senior (10 & 11) and Leaders in Training (12 & 13). Each Group Leader develops programs and activities, delegates counsellors’ tasks and ensures the safety of campers.
Before camp starts, Group Leaders will be allocated 30 hours to prepare for the summer (meetings, activity prep and other planning). They give input on what field trips, special events and theme days would work and when. They also attend an orientation day with the counsellors as well as an Open House!
At camp, Group Leaders will ensure their campers feel welcomed and lead them in activities throughout the day. At the beginning of the day, when parents are dropping off their children, they come out to greet them and get them settled. They ensure campers are having fun while staying safe. They are responsible for leading their group each day! The Group Leaders will provide instructions to the counsellors and will set up the daily activities. They are also responsible for dealing with various problems, such as campers bullying or fighting amongst each other. The Group Leaders are also expected to attend the Penny Carnival or the Campers’ Night Out.
