Summary Of Responsibilities
ABOUT CAMP POTLATCH
Located on 133 acres along the picturesque shores of Howe Sound, Camp Potlatch is a rustic wilderness site that provides a natural gateway into the rugged landscape of British Columbia’s South Coast. Sandy beaches and unspoiled hiking territory create an idyllic environment to work, explore and play! Even though it is less than an hour from Vancouver, the camp is truly isolated in pristine wilderness and is only accessible by boat. Wildlife sightings include – but are not limited to – whales, seals, porpoises, bears, and bald eagles! Adventure starts here!
About This Position
Camp Potlatch is looking for fall staff! The Fall Outdoor Centre season starts at the end of our summer season in the last week of August. Preference for fall staff will be given to applicants with previous Outdoor Centre experience. These positions require experienced and mature camp professionals. Applicants must also have reliable transportation to and from Porteau Cove Provincial Park or Britannia Beach for the start and end of each work week.
