Scotian Glen camp staff applications now available

In late January it’s easy to feel as though summertime fun is a million miles away. And yet, in no time flat children will be scrambling around the pastoral landscape of Scotian Glen Camp, partaking in all kinds of summer activities.

This week camp staff application forms were posted on our website, beginning the annual search for a team to help hundreds of children have a fantastic summer experience at the Thorburn, NS, facility.

All told, the camp will hire 32 staff members to help guide it through the summer season, including such positions as Program Director, cabin counsellors, lifeguards and kitchen staff.

Kristen Mooy, a 21-year-old from St. Catharines, Ont., had a great experience serving as the female head counsellor at Scotian Glen last year.

“One of the best things about serving at Scotian Glen, was the sense of community,” she recalls. “Being from another province, I was worried about fitting in, but everyone was so welcoming and I soon made some very good friends. With everyone being so close, we were able to open up to one another, and help each other grow in our faith as well as conquer struggles. Everyone was very encouraging toward one another which helped the summer run smoothly. “

Mooy also offered some advice to any prospective first-time camp staff.

“Don’t be afraid to be yourself! Camp is a great place to learn about yourself and grow spiritually. It can be challenging at times, but in the end it is very rewarding and such a blessing to think of all the kids you’ve made an impact on in such a short amount of time.”
