THE OPPORTUNITY 

Campfire Circle will be running in-person overnight camp programs at two medically supported overnight camp locations, Rainbow Lake (Waterford, ON) and Muskoka (Rosseau, ON) this summer. We will also be running a Day Camp program in Ottawa.

We are seeking new volunteers age 19+ with a variety of skill sets to participate in a life-changing volunteer experience! New volunteers must commit to one camp session, which can be a 4 to 8 day camp experience (inclusive of on-site training). 
 
Whether it’s at Rainbow Lake, a quiet 143 acres site in Waterford, at Muskoka, which features 400 wooded acres in the town of Rosseau, or at our fun urban Day Camp location Ottawa, you will be connecting kids and families with fun indoor and outdoor activities that help improve their overall wellbeing.

All roles will require you to work in partnership with a team of other volunteers where your first priority will be camper/family safety; ensuring they are supervised and supported at all times.

Kids Help Phone’s texting service is the only free, 24/7 bilingual text line for people in Canada. The service is delivered by trained, volunteer crisis responders who work remotely. 

We are recruiting overnight and or bilingual crisis responders who will answer texts from young people looking for support in both English AND French.

The volunteer position will be remote, meaning that you can participate from anywhere in Canada as long you have a strong, reliable internet connection!  

Our volunteers need to be enthusiastic about helping people!

You can be a professional, student, teacher, retiree, or anybody else with a willingness to learn how to support people over text.  

The role of a crisis responder is to bring texters from a “hot” moment to a cool calm one, and to help them come up with a plan to stay healthy and safe.

Crisis responders are trained to do this using active listening and collaborative problem-solving.
