What the role is all about:

WinSport is seeking energetic and passionate individuals for the position Summer Camp Instructors. If you have a genuine interest in coaching youth, physical literacy, and playing sport outdoors in the sun, we invite you to apply.

Instructors adapt their approach based on the age, ability, and interests of participants. Younger groups (ages 4–8) are guided through play-based exploration and discovery, while older groups (ages 9–15) experience more skill development, structured activities, and games to practice those news skills.

We are hiring for a number of positions in programming that spans a variety of summer activities. The Summer Camp programs we are looking to find instructors for include:

**Sport:**Sport Camps offer fun, active outdoor experiences where children and youth explore a variety of sports including basketball, gagaball, soccer, volleyball, and field games. Our guiding principles are building social connections, skills, and develop confidence through play and movement.

**Wilderness:**Wilderness Camps immerse children and youth in outdoor experiences that deepen their connection to nature, build practical outdoor awareness, and strengthen social connections through shared exploration and adventure. Wilderness 9-15 age groups will head to Kananaskis each week to take their learned skills into the mountains.
