Description
Did you enjoy volunteering at camp as a YLDP 1 and 2 and are looking for your next challenge? Year 3 participants expand on their YLDP knowledge with increased leadership and responsibility. You will join summer camp leader training in June and receive training in group behaviour management, conflict de-escalation, interview skills and learn how to take initiative at camp. After training you will participate in a four-week placement at one of our City of Waterloo summer camps. Participants must have the ability to get to camp facilities (RIM Park, Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex and Albert McCormick Community Centre) as placement and training locations will vary in June and July. An exact schedule will be provided in late May. Toward the end of your volunteer placement, you will have the opportunity to interview for a position as a summer camp leader for August 2026 (interviews will be held near the end of July). To be considered for a paid position in August, participants will also need to complete a WSIB-approved Standard First Aid and CPR C with AED course and HIGH FIVE Principles of Healthy Child Development certification (in person or online). 100% attendance is required during training dates. Prerequisite: You must have completed YLDP 1 and 2 and be 15 years of age prior to registering. For more information, email
