The individual must model the Camp Philosophy to all campers, their families and staff and ensure that the camp experience is safe and positive |
The Top 5 Competencies identified for this position are:
Leadership
|
The Camp Director must demonstrate faith-based leadership in all aspects of this role.

She/He must work collaboratively with camp program staff, camp admin staff, the property manager, kitchen staff, agencies who fund or directly send campers to the camp, and the offseason tenant, Adventureworks!. It is critical that the camp team are carefully chosen, new and former staff are blended and brought together to create an effective team. Likewise, for the camp program to be a success, the Camp Director must ensure that he /she builds relationships with the non-direct camp staff to ensure that they are as dedicated to their tasks as they relate to campers as the direct camp staff demonstrate. Lastly, the Camp Director must use her/his off-season time wisely to nurture and build relationships with those agencies and individuals who can enhance the camp program and experience through their donations of time or funds as well as those in the community who could be parents of future campers or camp staff to ensure continued growth of the camp. |
Planning and Organization
|
This individual must use planning and organization in accomplishing all/most job tasks by developing clear organizational goals that are consistent with the Camp Philosophy and policies. Not only does this position require the ability to foresee risks and to adjust plans to take into account changes in circumstances and schedules, but also to be adaptive in planning, prioritizing, and allocating resources for the executing of plans. Due to the nature of the position, she/he must use time efficiently, and monitor his/her own delivery against a pre-developed timeline in order to meet deadlines for executing camp programs. |

The Camp Director must be able to communicate at many levels – with campers, camp families, funding and partner agencies, camp staff, the Camp Committee, the Board of Directors, diocesan staff, government agency representatives and others. Not only is the Camp Director excellent at facilitating two-way communication, but is particularly gifted when it comes to active listening and creating an environment where others feel comfortable to share their thoughts and feelings. Being highly empathetic, the Camp Director is able to sense how other people are feeling and respond in supportive, caring ways. When working with youth (campers and staff), it is also important for the Camp Director to be very clear and accurate when defining and communicating Safe-Church protocols to staff and others during formal and informal training sessions. This position requires the individual to pay attention to matters of legality when defining camp program rules and guidelines. |
Judgment & Decision Making
|
This individual makes decisions regularly that affect staff, campers and their experiences at Canterbury Hills. She /He must determine when consultation with others will enhance her/his decision making and when he/she must act from a position of authority. When making decisions, emphasis should first be on safety and adherence to policies, and secondly to ensure all campers and staff feel fully included in the camp experience. Making a sound judgment is required when observing and accurately interpreting what others are saying and feeling, based on their choice of words, tone of voice, expressions, and other nonverbal behavior.

Submit by 5:00 p.m. on September 28, 2018
NOTICE INVITING INFORMATION FOR TENANCY
Outward Bound Canada, Ontario’s Wilderness program is seeking a location as the base of operations and a rental agreement with a prospective landlord.
Prospective landlords are invited to submit information to Outward Bound Canada. Interested organizations or individuals can also contact Marika Chandler 1.888.688.9273 ext. 231.
Proposals will be received by e-mail to Marika Chandler @ marika_chandler@outwardbound.ca no later than 5:00 p.m. on Sept 28, 2018.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE REQUEST
Outward Bound Canada has been in operation since 1969, from coast to coast. Our mission is to cultivate resilience, leadership, connections and compassion through inspiring and challenging journeys of self-discovery in the natural world. We are both a charitable organization and non-profit organization. We provide expeditions to a range of students from underserved youth, female survivors of domestic violence, veterans, and the general public. Our Ontario operations consist of two separate bases of operation, Toronto urban program and our wilderness program currently based in Katrine, ON. We offer expeditionary experiences ranging from 1 – 32 days in length exploring the urban ravines or remote rivers in Northern Ontario. Our busiest operational season is from May to November.
In a year we serve up to 500 participants within this program area. We actively seek out funding opportunities and partners to support those who would not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in expeditionary experiences; 70% of all of our participants are supported in some degree (10-100%) to attend our programs. We employ up to 20 staff on contract in our busy operational season, and 2 full time staff year-round. This team is supported by the National Expeditionary Support Team (NEST) based out of Toronto.
Over our history our wilderness program has changed with the changing needs of our clients and our mission. We originally were based in North-western Ontario in the Wabakimi region, eventually moved to a vast property outside of Burk’s Falls. Changes in our operation have simplified our needs for a base and prompted a move from Burk’s Falls to Katrine. We have been based out of this location for 8 years and have had a wonderful landlord and supporter with the Almaguin Campground. At this site we have rented a portion of the property and operating business (an operating campground and trailer park). We are looking for a location to better suit our current operational needs.
