Each summer we recruit, hire and train camp instructors who are energetic, enthusiastic, and enjoy working with children. They are dedicated to providing fun, creative and challenging experiences for all of our campers. All our staff bring professional attitudes and expert training to our program and are selected for their skill, knowledge and desire to teach.

Note: We have placed a 3 year time limit on criminal record checks. Staff who have previously worked with SFU Camps but have a criminal record check on file older than 3 years, will need to obtain a new document. To work with camps during summer 2013 your criminal record check must not be older than September 1, 2010.

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering for SFU Camps is a great opportunity to gain experience in a fun, safe and welcoming environment. Volunteers will acquire valuable leadership skills. They will also become familiar with SFU's Athletics & Recreation Department, and meet new people all while having fun in the sun! Our volunteers are seen as potential camp leaders for future summers. Each week SFU Camps recognizes an outstanding volunteer with the Volunteer of the Week award.

Our Volunteers will be provided with evaluations and reference letters. Various workshops will also be available and may cover a variety of topics such as resume or cover letter development, and interview skills.
