people
Every camp has two kinds of magic: the kind you experience, and the kind you make. This page is for the makers: the small crew who light the fires, stir the pots, cue the music and quietly run one very alive little village in the woods. Campers remember camp. Crew belongs to it.
Camper or crew?
come play
Sleep in a bunk, eat the meals, swim, sing, dance, do all the things, carry exactly zero responsibilities. If that sounds like your September, you want a camper ticket.

Join the production team. A real role with your name on it, a crew that has your back, training before camp and your bunk + meals covered. Keep scrolling and pick your top 3 roles.
see the open roles →The best seat at camp is behind the scenes
Ask anyone who has ever worked a summer camp: the campers have fun, but the crew has the stories. The inside jokes. The 7am kitchen radio. The quiet minute by the water before everyone wakes up. You don't just attend this camp. You get to say we made that.
an instant team
You arrive already knowing people. Crew trains together in Moncton before camp, so by day one you have a role, a radio-channel of friends and a seat saved at the fire.
four days in the trees
Salt water, tall pines, phone in your bag. Every role has defined work windows and real off-duty time: swim, paddle, nap in a hammock, join the silent disco. Chill is scheduled, not stolen.
your skill, needed
Whatever you're quietly great at (feeding a crowd, fixing a fuse, calming a kid, starting a song), there is a spot on this board where it makes the whole weekend better.
This is a volunteer crew for a community-run passion project, a private event, and nobody is drawing a paycheque, Andie included. There's no wage or honorarium. What crew get: shared bunk accommodations, all meals, pre-camp training and full access to camp life whenever you're off duty. What we ask: show up trained, own your role, communicate early and be kind. Applying doesn't guarantee a placement: Andie confirms every role and its expectations in writing before you accept.
Pick your top 3
Scan the board, tap + pick on up to three roles, then hit apply. Some roles fill fast, so your 2nd and 3rd picks matter. If your first choice is taken, we'll talk about the next one.
