They are at minimum are completing the third year of a college or university program or equivalent.

SPECIALISTS: In several of our larger or more complicated program areas (usually waterfront, outdoor adventure or visual arts programs), one lead instructor is often not sufficient. We often hire a second “specialist” to assist the activity head in these areas. While these activity assistants are not responsible for program administration, most of their day-to-day responsibilities are the same as the Activity Head. As such the requirements for the position are the same as for an Activity Head.

Activity Counsellors must be at minimum completing the first year of a college/university program or equivalent.
