Why Work At Camp Green Acres

“The chance to grow in such an incredible environment. I learned valuable leadership skills and many other skills that will help me in the future.”

“I met a ton of new friends and became extremely close with them. I also learned a ton of new skills and became better at problem solving.”

“Being able to create such amazing bonds with the campers and the staff. I’ve never felt this much connection and sense of family anywhere. No truer words are said: Camp GA is where you belong.”

“As an Instructor, there was no greater feeling in the world than knowing that a camper was excited about and enjoying the activities that we were doing. It really just made me so happy to come to camp everyday!”

“The people and being part of a community. Everyone was super friendly and I felt like everyone is rooting you on and making you feel like a part of camp. Saying hi or just smiling as they walked past reminding that there are people that care about you”

“The people that I have met and the skills that I have inquired. I have made so many friends that I am still in contact with and strengthened skills like patience, leadership, organization, and time-management”

What People Say

Kayla had the most amazing summer! Her favourite activity was the ropes course and she had the best time at the one night getaway to Wahanowin. Both girls have fully absorbed all the GA culture, and they will not stop talking and telling everyone how fun it was! They will definitely be back next year!

Parent of JK and Grade 2 campers

It was his second summer at camp and he loved every minute. He was able to try new activities and enjoy the ones from the previous year. His counsellors made him feel special and a part of the team. He loved spirit rallies. He was so proud when he got his deep end bracelet and now we feel much safer swimming as a family. He came out so confident and proud to be a GA kid.

He was able to try new activities

Parent of Grade 2 camper

My son was in bears for 4 weeks and All stars (Sports Camp) for 2. He had the best time- especially in the sports camp! He left for 2.5 weeks to go to sleepover camp and was happy to go back to the sports camp at Green Acres when he returned.
