Share your skills and passion
Camp is all about fun. A lot of that fun happens across our 20 activity areas, ranging from water activities, racquet/team sports and outdoor adventure to art, dance and drama. Our specialists oversee all aspects of these activity areas including equipment, organization and safety. But the best part? Teaching campers new skills. Helping them achieve a level they’ve been working on. Encouraging them to their potential in something they already love.
What makes a great specialist at Wahanowin? The perfect balance of proficiency and passion. Some of our activity areas require technical skills and certifications (i.e. swim, ski). But all require enthusiasm, great communication, patience, collaboration and positivity.
