Our summer starts with Lead Week, a special camp geared towards high school aged youth interested in gaining leadership skills and volunteering at Camp throughout the summer. You get the classic activity-packed Maskepetoon experience and special volunteer training sessions that provide participants with the knowledge they need to come back for future weeks of the summer in a volunteer capacity. This is a great opportunity to gain skills for future employment, valuable experience for resumes and scholarship applications, and to make a real difference for our campers. It can also lead to future employment at this camp or at other places geared at working with children and teens. Whether you’re a longtime camper who has been dreaming of the day they can volunteer, a newcomer looking for a unique volunteering experience, or anywhere in between, this is the camp for you!
Participants must be entering grade 10 or higher in September 2025.
Please note: Attendance at Lead Week is mandatory in order to volunteer. Part of Lead Week training includes a kitchen orientation as all volunteers may be expected to help with kitchen duties including dishwashing and basic meal preparation and service.
Decisions about volunteer assignments will be made based on camp needs, volunteer availability, and experience. Generally, volunteers can expect to be given up to two, week-long assignments. There may be opportunities for additional volunteer weeks. Decisions about volunteer scheduling will be made at Lead Week. Volunteer spots may be limited each week if mandatory capacity restrictions are in place.
NEW! Tiered Pricing system! Camp Maskepetoon is a non-profit organization committed to offering a fun and inclusive camping experience at the lowest possible rate. Our base rate is a subsidized price partially funded by grants and donations that is lower than the actual cost of a week of camp.To try and manage the ongoing costs of camp, this year we are offering a tiered pricing system with an optional unsubsidized rate that more closely represents the full cost of a week at camp (with the daily cost of 24/7 supervision, three meals and two snacks, and all camp activities coming to about 100 dollars a day). All participants are welcome to register at either the subsidized or the unsubsidized rate, but we would invite families with the means who have benefitted from camp in the past to consider paying the unsubsidized rate and help keep camp going for years to come.
