Summer Camp Positions

Royal City Soccer Club (RCSC) is a non-profit, community organization started in 1993. For more than 32 years, we’ve hosted a unique soccer camp experience for over 300,000 children between ages 5 and 13 years. Our camps are now the largest grassroots soccer camp in Canada with over 100 locations in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The popularity of our camps is not only due to our program structure, but also because of the great staff we have. We will be looking to hire approximately 300 staff for July and August. Our camp operates Monday to Friday from June 30 until August 29, 2025 (excluding July 1 and August 4).
