Description

Counsellor in Training is a 3 week youth leadership program that focuses on developing the skills required to become a day camp Counsellor. Youth complete the High Five Healthy Child Development and Standard First Aid & CPR C certifications, as well as learn the skill of resume writing and interview techniques in our employment readiness workshop by the end of the program. During the first week, youth will spend time enjoying camp activities, getting to know their group members, their trainer and learning about the expectations of the program. Week 2 includes a week long overnight at YMCA Cedar Glen Outdoor Centre. Youth will take a chartered bus from the ferry terminal at 9:00am on Monday morning and depart Cedar Glen on Friday to return to the ferry terminal for pick-up or bus departure at 4:00pm. During the week, participants will have the opportunity to try rock climbing, high rope and low rope courses as well as swim in Cedar Glens outdoor pool. Youth will spend this week focusing on how to deliver programs to camp age groups as well as how to create a program plan. Grove Cabin accommodations sleep 8. All meals are provided in the Cedar Glen dining hall. Week 3, youth will be paired with a day camp counsellor to demonstrate what they have learned and assist with delivering camp programs to younger campers. At the end of this week, youth will be given a performance appraisal by their trainer and receive 25 volunteer hours. Please note bussing is available from bus stops throughout the city for $75 round trip per week upon request.

Location

Y Day Camp utilizes many areas of Toronto Islands green space and waterfront to deliver outdoor adventure programs. Junior campers (6-8 year olds) take the Wards Island Ferry and walk to the home base at Snake Island where they participate in a variety of outdoor activities on the large grassy fields with access to waterfront and biking paths. This is a fully outdoor location. Private washrooms and changing trailers will be provided for changing before swimming in the Y owned pool. Senior & Leadership campers (9-15 year olds) take the Centre Island Ferry and walk to the home base near St Andrew’s by the Lake Church where they participate in a variety of activities on the large grassy fields, with access to waterfront and biking paths. This is a fully outdoor location. Public washrooms and changeroom tents will be used before swimming at the Centre Island Beach. Please ensure you come dressed for the weather as our programs operate outside rain or shine! Campers meet their counselors at the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal at the bottom of Bay Street before taking the ferry to the Island. Camp operates Monday - Friday from 9am - 4pm. Bussing is available from bus stops throughout the city for $75 round trip per week. For more information, please visit https://ymcagta.org/camps-and-outdoor-education/day-camp/toronto-island
