Your Opportunity to SHINE ON:

At the YMCA-YWCA of Winnipeg, we believe that belonging is the heart of potential, and for more than 130 years, Camp Stephens—owned and operated by the YMCA-YWCA of Winnipeg—has brought this belief to life through exceptional overnight and wilderness experiences on its island site in the heart of Lake of the Woods, Kenora, Ontario. Guided by The Y Way and our commitment to Shine On Experiences, Camp Stephens fosters a culture where safety, inclusion, growth, and community are embedded in everything we do.

As the Assistant Wilderness Coordinator, you will play a key leadership role in supporting the delivery of high-quality In-Camp Trail wilderness programming.

HOW you'll create Moments that Matter:

You will support and oversee In-Camp Trail wilderness programming, ensuring safety policies, risk-management systems, and industry best practices are consistently followed. You will help train and support the Wilderness Team, maintain equipment and inventories, and contribute to camp-wide programming such as Depot sessions and Clubs activities. You will also manage key administrative tasks including food orders, environmental tracking, budgeting support, and end-of-season reporting to drive continuous improvement.

What You'll bring:

  • Experience leading youth or wilderness programs in camp or outdoor environments, with a strong focus on safety and engagement.
  • Strong organizational, communication, and leadership skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in a dynamic setting.
  • A demonstrated commitment to inclusion, safeguarding, and the Y's mission and values.
  • Required Certifications: Standard First Aid with CPR-C, Wilderness Advanced First Aid (WAFA), Moving Water, White Water Rescue (WWR)

  • On-site Accommodation: Includes board and lodging during the camp season
  • Wellness: Complimentary Y membership and access to Employee Assistance Program
  • A supportive, people-centred environment where your leadership is valued
