Be apart of something bigger

Work With Us

Join the team

Be part of the team that brings Camp Kahuna to life each summer. Our staff lead camper groups, run activities, bring energy to camp-wide events and help create the friendships, traditions and experiences that make Kahuna special.

Working at Kahuna is more than a summer job. Staff build leadership skills, gain hands on experience working with children and become part of a close camp community. We look for people who are positive, energetic, responsible and ready to make a difference in a camper’s summer.

All staff complete pre camp training, hold valid Standard First Aid and CPR certification, and submit a police check before the summer begins.

Positions we're hiring

Senior Leaders (Camp Counsellors)

Our Senior Leaders are the heart of the Camp Kahuna experience. You’ll spend your summer leading a group of campers, building relationships, running activities and games, and creating the kind of camp memories kids talk about long after summer is over.

We’re looking for energetic, responsible and outgoing individuals who love working with children and aren’t afraid to jump into the action. From creek adventures and camp-wide games to helping a nervous camper feel at home, Senior Leaders help make every camper feel included, supported and excited to be at Camp Kahuna.

Applicants must be 18+. Previous camp or youth leadership experience is strongly preferred.


Extreme Team Advisor

Help develop the next generation of Camp Kahuna leaders!

Our Extreme Team is Camp Kahuna’s leadership development program, similar to a traditional Counsellor-in-Training (CIT) program. As the Extreme Team Advisor, you’ll lead and mentor teens as they develop the skills and confidence needed to become successful camp staff.

You’ll provide coaching, feedback and encouragement while teaching leadership, communication, teamwork, initiative and how to positively engage with younger campers. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys mentoring young people and helping emerging leaders discover what they’re capable of.

Applicants must be 18+. Previous camp, leadership or youth mentorship experience is strongly preferred.


Camp Maintenance & Support Staff

Great camp experiences depend on a lot happening behind the scenes! Our Camp Maintenance & Support Staff help keep Camp Kahuna clean, organized, safe and ready for each day’s adventures.

Responsibilities include daily camp set-up and clean-up, setting up and tearing down games and special events, refilling water stations, completing washroom checks and hygiene cleaning, garbage and recycling removal, maintaining clean program and common areas, organizing equipment, and helping with general property and operational needs throughout the day.

We’re looking for someone who is dependable, hardworking and takes pride in keeping camp looking its best. You should be comfortable working independently, being outdoors and jumping in wherever an extra set of hands is needed.

We honestly can’t say enough good things about Kahuna! This was Jaxon’s 4th summer at camp, and he’s been going since he was 5. He absolutely loves it and looks forward to it every summer. It’s such a true camp experience with amazing leaders, tons of games, great friendships and such a fun, friendly atmosphere. Everything is so well organized, and you can tell the staff really care about the kids. His younger brother has been dying to go but has been too young, so hopefully next summer will finally be his turn! Kahuna has become such a special part of our summers, and we’ll keep coming back for as long as we can!

Kahuna is always our number one choice for the summer! From running around and swimming to playing in the creek, there’s truly something for everyone. The counselors are kind, caring, and fun, and they have made a genuine effort to get to know my kids and their individual interests. As a parent, I cannot recommend this camp enough. It’s the perfect place for kids to be kids, build friendships, and create lasting memories while learning important lessons to help guide them through life. While camp may be over for the summer my kids have yet to stop reminiscing about their time at Kahuna this summer!!

Our boys love camp kahuna. This is where kids just get be kids. Where being silly and getting dirty is totally fine. Connor & Scott, and all the staff make this an awesome experience for the kids. The leadership lessons and fun activities mean my kids come home truly happy every day. I trust kahuna with my kids, the regular communication is great and the staff are available to talk to. We have done both locations of day camp, sleep over and now my older son is in their extreme team. Can’t say enough good things.

Kahuna is the only summer camp my daughters have ever ask to go. They always look forward to the creek, the pool, the games and Scott's stories.

My daughters have been going to Camp Kahuna for the past ten years and are now on the Extreme Team and hope to one day become counselors - they've had the best experiences and have loved it so much! Conor, Scott and everyone else make the camp so welcoming and fun for all kids! Highly recommend!!

My son (7.5) had a great time here. He was able to be in a group with his school friends. He will be back next year. Thank you Camp Kahuna!

My daughter absolutely loved her time at Camp Kahuna!! She loved being outside, playing in Bronte Creek and playing games with the kids and wonderful camp counselors. She has already asked if she can go for 2 weeks next summer instead of 1!
