Help children connect with nature and discover the natural wonders of the Don Valley! 

Evergreen’s Adventure Camp offers opportunities for young adventurers to focus on nature exploration and nature connection through inquiry-based outdoor play and learning. Our camp programs are designed to inspire a new generation of environmental stewards as we strongly believe in the power of outdoor play and how that activates the body and the mind. In this role, Junior Assistant Camp Counsellors will work alongside experienced staff and fellow volunteers to lead nature-based programming for campers aged 6-12 years old. Daily activities include exploring, biking, fire building, collaborative art, building, wild-crafting and interactive outdoor games and activities.

Junior Assistant Camp Counsellors must commit to at least two full weeks of camp. Camp runs from July 4th to Sept 1st with shifts from 8:30 AM-4:30 PM or 9:30 AM-5:30 PM, Monday to Friday.  Evergreen Adventure Camp takes place at Evergreen Brick Works (550 Bayview Ave) with programming happening on-site and in adjacent City of Toronto parks.
