Assistant Wellness Coordinator

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 created safe, meaningful, and enriching camp 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 places the health, safety, and well-being of campers and staff at the centre of everything we do.

As the Assistant Wellness Coordinator, you will support the delivery of high-quality camper care and wellness services while serving as a secondary responder in emergency and first-aid situations.

HOW you'll create Moments that Matter:

You will support camper health and wellness by responding to medical needs, administering first aid and medications as required, and maintaining confidential medical records and logs. You will ensure first-aid supplies and wellness equipment are stocked and ready, assist in reviewing emergency protocols, and prepare detailed incident and end-of-season reports. You will also actively support camp programming by promoting health, safety, and well-being through direct engagement with campers and staff.
