Camp Quality - Summer Camp Volunteer

Organizational Description

Summer Camper Programs:
We facilitate a 1-week Overnight Summer Camp Program, hosted in Whiteshell Provincial Park, about two hours east of Winnipeg. Camp Quality Manitoba offers a wide range of programming for different needs and age groups.

Community Family Programs (Fun Days):
Our Community Family Programs are camp-style events that happen throughout the year for the entire family. Programs in the past have included Family Camp Weekend, Sports Games, Reunions and more! Our Community Family Programs are currently being offered in Winnipeg and surrounding area.

All of our programs are 100% free to attend.

Our overnight camp program gives kids affected by cancer a chance to just be kids! What's unique about Camp Quality? Our campers are matched with volunteer Companions (Camp Counsellors) who are there to support them throughout the week. You can expect many classic camp activities, like swimming, sports and games, canoeing, adventure, arts and crafts and more! Our year‑round volunteers who make up the Camp Organizing Committee plan the schedule and activities for the week.

As a program volunteer, you could be assigned to a number of roles at camp; which you can indicate your preference on your application form. Companions are volunteers who have the opportunity to participate alongside campers, playing games, singing songs, encouraging and cheering them on as they engage in the program and make new friends.

We also have Super Companions; they support in giving Companions breaks during the week, help lead activities and more! This role is unique due to the flexibility and getting to engage with lots of campers during the week!

Please note our team works a hybrid model; appointments are highly encouraged as we are not always in the office.

Volunteer Manitoba is located on the original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Anisininew, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. We acknowledge that the clean water we drink comes from Shoal Lake 40 first nation, and that our electricity is produced on treaty territory. Volunteer Manitoba respects the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
