On Working at SFU Camps: “I love seeing campers get excited about the University experience after having a great time at SFU Camps. I also love seeing former campers who decide to give back as volunteers, gain great work experience as instructors, or even begin their professional careers as a programmer.”

Favourite Camp Memory: As a Computer Camp Head Instructor, I mentored two volunteers to both individually teach an entire lesson by themselves. They both performed amazingly and were very receptive to feedback. This was a significant moment for me as a mentor, leader, and future teacher. I can't wait to work with all our volunteers to grow and develop their skills.

Favourite Camp Memory: “When I was an instructor, I loved talking and building connections with our international campers.

Favourite Camp Memory: “When I was an instructor for Mini-University, a camper drew a cartoon of me with very thin stick legs. He drew an arrow to the legs and wrote ‘Jason skips leg day’! I can always count on the kids to give me a good laugh.”

Favourite Camps Memory: “When I was an instructor, one of my volunteers came up to me very concerned. She told me that she had forgotten to nominate me for staff of the week and that she felt terrible. I told her not to worry about it; but the following week, she gave me a hand-written letter saying how much she appreciated all my help and mentorship. I still have their letter.”

Favourite Camp Memory: “As an instructor, I loved playing riddle games with my campers. It was always fun watching them try to figure out the patterns and tricks to each game. One camper in particular was stuck on a riddle for the entire two weeks of Pre-University Camp. She came up to me every day with a new answer to the riddle. On the final day of camp (with a big hint) she figured it out! She returned the following year with two riddles of her own for me to try and learn.”
