Summary of Responsibilities
ABOUT CAMP POTLATCH
Located on acres along the picturesque shores of Howe Sound, Camp Potlatch is a rustic wilderness site that provides a natural gateway into the rugged landscape of British Columbia’s South Coast. Sandy beaches and unspoiled hiking territory create an idyllic environment to work, explore and play! Even though it is less than an hour from Vancouver, the camp is truly isolated in pristine wilderness and is only accessible by boat. Wildlife sightings include – but are not limited to – whales, seals, porpoises, bears, and bald eagles! Adventure starts here!
Camp Potlatch staff work to provide campers (children and youth ages 7-16) a fun, safe camping experience with a variety of programs including canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing, archery, etc., as well as a 24-hour out-trip, either by land or by sea, where campers can sleep under the stars and help prepare their own meals. At Camp Potlatch, we believe that every kid is amazing and capable of incredible things. We recognize that it’s the relationships fostered between our campers and staff team which empower children to be their best person.
ABOUT THIS POSITION
The Support Counsellor is responsible for providing support to designated cabins and campers to ensure inclusion and success within the cabin and greater camp community.
The type of support given to cabins and designated campers may vary from week to week but could look as follows: one-on-one support where a Support Counsellor would live in a cabin and assume 24/7 responsibility for an identified camper, or the role may require adapting/modifying programs to meet the needs of designated campers.
Other duties may include helping organize and facilitating camper transportation, assisting in camp program areas, and managing camper lost & found/laundry.
The Support Counsellor ensures that each child at camp has a happy, safe, and successful camp experience. The team will be involved in creating individualized program and behaviour plans in collaboration with Camp Coordinators and parents. Given the versatility of this role, it is imperative that the Support Counsellor is patient, compassionate, self-motivated, and resourceful. Knowledge and experience of working with children who have a range of social/emotional/developmental needs is a must.
