Volunteer

Camp Scugog launched Scugog Nature School (SNS) in September 2021, and we are seeking enthusiastic volunteers to assist with our programs. Scugog Nature School is a place where learning is driven by a child’s own curiosity, and guided by themed activities and enthusiastic instructors. Children, staff, and volunteers spend a majority of their time outdoors exploring, playing, wondering, and more with nature as their teacher.

We are currently recruiting volunteers for our Summer Day Camp between 8:30 am-4:30 pm

  • Participate enthusiastically in nature school activities, providing support to instructors and participants
  • Have an interest in supporting children’s outdoor education (ages 1-13)
  • Support in the implementation of COVID-19 protocols i.e. sanitization of programming areas and equipment, and ensuring physical distancing and masking protocols are maintained
  • Provide supervision support over lunch times, washroom runs, first aid, etc.
  • Follow and uphold all safety procedures
  • Be prepared to be outdoors in all weather conditions
  • Commit to volunteering on a regular schedule

  • Basic knowledge of species identification considered an asset
