We are looking for dedicated individuals who want to work most School Holiday weeks and take pride in leading a team of staff to deliver 5 star activities to children across the community.

You will also use your camp phone to capture all the fun activities going on at camp for parents to see on social media! Applicants must be at least 21 years old.
