Let's face it, we have all seen at least one summer camp movie and wished that was us! So make it happen, sign up to be a camp counsellor in Canada and get ready for the best summer of your life. You will be spending the summer at an exclusive summer camp, sharing this secluded getaway with a group of like-minded people all ready to have the time of their lives. In this great summer tradition, Canadian parents will send their kids aged 6-16 to participate in outdoor activities, build their confidence, make friends and have the best summer of their young lives and you are going to be the one that makes it all happen.
Working as a counsellor you get to be part of the kid's journey, helping them to truly enjoy their time away from their parents, getting your group working together and having a blast, whilst getting paid. Then, after camp breaks up you have the whole of this epic country to explore, often with some of the new friends you have made during your time there. You can stay in the east, exploring its dynamic cities or if you have fallen in love with the wild spaces of Canada, travel out west, through the Rockies to Vancouver and beyond.
We have an incredible relationship with the camp and can get you set up with the perfect Camp Counsellor position. Your dedicated Trip Coordinator will help you with everything you need to dive right into Canadian life, from helping to sort out your camp contract and visa, airport transfer, accommodation, a salary to help towards your travels around Canada, 24/7 worldwide support and so much more.
Immerse yourself in a new culture, meet lifelong friends and get ready for a summer full of stories that could define the rest of your life. Be more than just a tourist and explore this unique part of Canada before heading out on your own adventure across this wild and beautiful country.
Before you even take off for Canada, you’ll have your camp counsellor role all sorted and ready to dive into.
Handpicked from an experienced team who’ve been there, done that and are ready to guide you through your entire journey and leave no question unanswered.
Meet your future camp counsellor friends in Toronto for a detailed introduction on everything you need to know about life and work in Canada.
Start your trip off right and roll up like a VIP! When your plane lands a private chauffeur will be waiting to whisk you straight to your included hostel accommodation in style from Toronto airport. Plus, you will be taken in a private bus to your camp at the end of orientation.

We'll give you a Canadian SIM with your first month’s calls, SMS & data included, and help set up your Canadian bank account and Social Insurance Number.
In your first few days, enjoy your included full day's hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour aboard an open-top bus with live commentary which takes you all around Toronto city.

During camp, you're going to eat like a camper. Get full access to the dining halls and have all your food included with more than enough to fuel your active day.
While at times it may seem like you’ll just be running around having fun with your friends, it is actually hard work and you will get paid a wage by your camp. You will earn between $2,500-$4,000CAD which you can then put towards your travels after you’re done at camp!
Get your visa approved as cheap and easy as possible with our step-by-step instructions and personal guidance by your Trip Coordinator.

Experience the joy of Canadian living as you immerse yourself in the daily life of a summer camp.

With so much on offer at the camp, it is your chance to lead the kids in the things you are particularly talented at, and learn a wealth of new skills along the way. If you are a demon on the trails, you could be teaching the kids how to mountain bike, or if you are a water baby, there is a chance for you to become the expert kayak or SUP instructor.
You will arrive in Toronto and be driven to your 3 nights of hostel accommodation. Here, you will meet your fellow Global Travellers all heading to the same camp as you. Over the 3 days in Toronto, you will have an in-person orientation, go on a hop-on-hop-off bus tour of Toronto, set up your social insurance number and bank account, be given your new Canadian SIM with a month’s credit, and have some time to explore Toronto. After that, you and your fellow camp counsellors will hop on a private bus for the 2-hour drive to your new summer camp!
Arrive in Canada with the confidence that you are many steps ahead of every other traveller looking to work in a summer camp.

Global Work & Travel works on a first-in-best-dressed basis. Booking earlier ensures that you don’t miss out on the best intake, season, placements and more!

Why not give yourself something to look forward to by booking that trip!
Yes you can! Simply tell your Trip Coordinator after booking that your friend is also going and they can link your profiles. For most of our trips we should be able to have you and your friends placed together or nearby. Meaning that you can live, work, play & travel together!
But wait there's more! Not only can you travel the world with your besties at your side, you can also earn some extra cash towards your own trip just by referring your friends to Global Work & Travel. You can learn more about the great referral rewards program inside your gWorld account once you join.
And for those who decide to go-it-solo, we’ve made it easier to meet other Global Travellers in the same region as you. Just like any other social platform, you’ll be able to interact, share, chat and meet with some really cool people who are doing trips just like you!
If you have to make any changes to your departure date, you’re protected with our Lifetime Deposit Guarantee and our Ultimate Corona Booking Flexibility. With this, we will change your trip dates for free. If this doesn’t fit around you and you can’t go on your trip anymore, we will give you a 100% refund in the form of a Trip Credit with us (See terms). If you’re unable to use it, you can also transfer that credit to someone else for them to put towards any trip too.
If you’re affected by Covid-19 while you’re overseas, you will have all the support you need from our team or partners in-country as well as have access to our 24/7 Global Emergency Line. We recommend travellers purchase Global Travel Cover travel insurance that provides Covid-19 medical protection too.
As border restrictions for countries begin to ease, being fully vaccinated will maximise the number of locations you can visit. So while you are not legally required to be vaccinated, and it’s also not a requirement to travel with us, it will limit some of the countries that you can visit and may make it harder to travel through over the next 12-18 months. We highly recommend our travellers look at the current travel restrictions of their destination, speak with a medical professional or get in touch with our team for travel advice.
Our Ultimate Corona Booking Flexibility means you can change your trip’s start date up to 84* days before departure without incurring any charges when you rebook it for any time (or even any other trip) in the next 2 years from your original start date.
In the event that you want to cancel your booking altogether, if you give us over 84* days notice you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee. Your refund of the balance will come in the form of a Store Credit which you can put towards booking absolutely anything travel related with your Travel Concierge within the next 2 years!
*Some select trips excluded, including Teach (Spain, Italy & Czech Republic) and USA (Summer Camp, Working Holiday and Hotel Professional), and others as listed in Booking Conditions.
