🌈 Youth-focused
Campers come first. Staff support young people with care, patience, appropriate boundaries and respect.
🌈 Rainbow Camp® • Join Our Team
Help create a place where young people can belong.
Rainbow Camp® brings together caring, skilled and youth-focused people who believe 2SLGBTQ+ youth and allies deserve spaces where they can be fully themselves.
Traditional overnight camp is not running in 2026, so seasonal camp hiring is currently closed. As plans for future overnight programming develop, employment opportunities will be posted here.
Interested in working with Rainbow Camp® in the future?
We would still love for prospective staff to learn about our community, our values and the kinds of roles that have traditionally helped make Rainbow Camp® possible.
Please check this page for future hiring announcements. We will not publish an application link until positions and employment details are confirmed.
The people behind camp
What it means to be part of the Rainbow Camp® team.
Working at Rainbow Camp® is more than a summer job. Staff help create a Brave Space where campers can explore who they are, build friendships, try new things and experience the joy of belonging.
💜 Affirming
We value people who understand and celebrate the diversity of 2SLGBTQ+ communities and strong allies.
🤝 Team-oriented
Camp works because people collaborate, communicate, help one another and contribute to a strong community.
Future opportunities
Roles that have helped make Rainbow Camp® possible.
Future staffing needs will depend on the programs, location and season that are ultimately confirmed. Historically, our team has included positions such as:
Leadership Team
Camp leadership, program leadership, administration, camper support, health and wellness roles.
Counsellors & Program Staff
Cabin counsellors, program facilitators, lifeguards, wilderness/trip staff and media/program specialists.
Site & Operations
Kitchen, food service, housekeeping, maintenance, grounds and other operational roles.
This is not a list of current vacancies. Specific future positions and qualifications will be announced when hiring opens.

Helping every camper feel welcomed, seen and respected across identities and experiences.
Diversity
Respecting and celebrating the breadth of identities within 2SLGBTQ+ communities and among allies.
Joy
Creating a camp experience filled with friendship, laughter, discovery and memorable moments.
Self-expression
Supporting young people as they explore, understand and express their authentic selves.
Community
Building relationships and a sense of belonging that can continue beyond a week at camp.
Inspiration & Education
Helping young people develop confidence, skills, understanding and tools they can carry home.
Who we welcome
Different identities. Different experiences. One team.
Rainbow Camp® values a staff team that reflects the diversity of the young people and communities we serve. We welcome interest from 2SLGBTQ+ people and allies, people of all gender identities and expressions, racialized and Indigenous people, and people with disabilities.
When future employment opportunities are posted, each position will include its specific eligibility, experience, certification and screening requirements.
Future employment details
What will be posted when hiring opens.
Because there is no active 2026 overnight camp season, we have removed outdated employment dates, pay details, travel allowances and application deadlines.
When future hiring begins, we will clearly publish the information applicants need before they apply.
Safety & responsibility
Supporting youth comes with important responsibilities.
Rainbow Camp® has historically required staff working with young people to meet employment eligibility, training and screening requirements appropriate to their roles. Future job postings will specify the requirements that apply to each position.
Brave Space
Staff are expected to help create an environment grounded in respect, consent, inclusion and thoughtful communication.
Screening & Training
Youth-facing roles may require appropriate police screening, certifications and mandatory training before working with campers.
Professional Boundaries
Staff are responsible for following organizational policies, safeguarding practices and appropriate camper/staff boundaries.

Building what comes next
A stronger future for campers — and the people who support them.
Rainbow Camp® is working toward the return of overnight programming and the long-term stability that comes with having a permanent home.
That future will need great people: counsellors, program leaders, site staff, specialists, volunteers, supporters and community partners who believe in creating spaces where young people can belong.
Maybe your next Rainbow Camp® summer is still ahead.
There are no seasonal staff applications open today. As plans for future overnight camp are confirmed, we will post opportunities here.
