Camp Arnes is a year round Childrens Camp, Outdoor Education, and Retreat Center located 1 hour north of Winnipeg on the shore of Lake Winnipeg. We are host to 1500 children in the summer and 14,000 guests between September and June.
We are currently looking to hire Spring and Summer staff in our Activities, Cabin leading, Kitchen, Maintenance areas, with a focus on the following two positions. These will slot between our summer Director and our summer leadership team, making them essentially “assistant summer camp directors.”
