International Staff

We have had summer staff from all over the world and encourage any staff to apply regardless of the country they are in. Every country is different when it comes to paperwork, and we will work with each international staff to obtain a visa or paperwork, arrange transportation from the airport or into Canada, and anything else needed. An adequate understanding of the English language is needed to be on our summer staff team.
