Nepean ON KK Z, Canada Out to Play Full time

Please note: Out to Play only considers applications with a cover letter. Thank you.

Out to Play offers an Independent School, a summer daycamp program, 1:1 Forest and Nature School experiences, Family programs and Open Pay-What-You-Can Drop-In programs onsite at the Out to Play Environmental Education Centre and at urban wild spaces across the city.

Out to Play's Forest and Nature School pedagogy is defined as child-centred, inquiry-driven, interest-led, educator-supported learning and connecting through play on the land. At Out to Play children spend most of every day outside and on the land, through all the seasons and through all the weather. This wholly outdoors, child-centred and play-based approach is unique and as such, Out to Play is also a demonstration site for childcare centres, colleges and universities.

Out to Play is hiring both summer day camp counselors to facilitate playful outdoor nature programs, working in a small team with an experienced lead educator.

The days are 7-8 hr days and include limited admin and maintenance tasks, alongside the responsibility of facilitating creative, active and imaginative mentorship of children on the land.

Educators support children in active outdoor play, set up learning inspirations, lead hikes and adventures, tell stories and teach hard skills.

You'll be working with a team of incredible educators who care very much about the children and our community of families. We value integrity, hard-work, a commitment to reflection and learning, and having a laugh at the end of the day.

Please have the following :

A First Aid certification

Active Ontario College of Teachers or Early Childhood Education qualifications (or currently studying)

A Forest and Nature School Practitioners Course or Child and Youth work

A Vulnerable Sector Police Check

An interest working outdoors in all kinds of weather
