Camp Outlook is a registered Ontario charity based in Kingston, Ontario, which encourages young people from 13 to 17 years old to develop their inner strength, self-worth, and capacity to succeed. We do this by by giving them the opportunity to participate in extended backcountry canoe expeditions free of charge. Campers go on trips for free, but we ask that all of our campers are referred to us by a social agency or school so we can be sure that we are offering our trips to youth who may not otherwise have the opportunity to go to camp. This might be because of barriers faced at home or at school, or simply because they could not otherwise afford to go on such a trip, and many campers qualify under more than one criterion. We are an entirely volunteer run organization, and nobody, from our program directors to our trip leaders, are paid. This is the way we've operated since we were founded in 1970.

Job type: Summer

Camp Outlook trip leaders are people from many walks of life who are respectful, open-minded, and kind. There is no experience necessary!

I-EDIAA:

We recognize that outdoor recreation and education have become privileged and predominantly white spaces through colonialism. Camp Outlook is no exception, and we acknowledge a lack of diversity in our governance, volunteers, and youth. As an organization, we are committed to increasing the accessibility of outdoor programming and the outdoor industry. Since its inception, Outlook has been addressing questions of inequity and inaccessibility of the outdoors by eliminating the financial barriers for youth, and providing free training for volunteers. However, we still have a long way to go, particularly in cultivating safer and more accessible spaces for Black, Indigenous, people of colour, 2SLGBTQ+ folks, and people from other groups that have historically been excluded from outdoor recreation spaces. We also have work to do in addressing colonial histories and ongoing colonialism in the outdoors. Through reflection, education, and accountability, we are committed to making well-researched changes to continuously work toward becoming a more diverse, anti-racist and anti-oppressive organization.

OPDES has a DEAP team (Diversity, Equity, and Assessment Planning) that all staff are welcome to join. The DEAP team promotes EDI within our team, sets goals for our team related to EDI initiatives, ensures we remain up-to-date on EDI policies and procedures, and plans professional development sessions for our team around EDI. At our monthly team meetings, we have an EDI spotlight to highlight various learning/training opportunities available to staff and notify the team of any upcoming days of recognition. For example, January is Tamil Heritage Month. Our team creates online learning modules for health sciences courses. We embed various I-EDIAA principles into the online learning modules to ensure an equitable, diverse, and accessible experience for all our learners. For staff hiring, we have an equity representative on all of our hiring committees. OPDES makes it a priority to have the equity representative be a staff member from outside of our department, to remove any bias and power dynamics. We have trained equity reps who help out with hiring in other departments as well.

The Student Experience Office demonstrates equity, diversity, and inclusion in our workforce through our team principles: collaboration, communication, community, and curiosity. Through the principle of collaboration, we draw on each other’s diverse lived experiences, encouraging others to share their perspectives in team meetings and throughout the development processes of our programs, including our Faceless Dolls Exhibit. Through the principle of communication, we check-in with student and professional staff to ensure the formats we primarily communicate through are accessible and effective for all staff – sometimes this means switching to different platforms when necessary. Through the principle of community, we ensure our spaces are welcoming for everyone and offer opportunities for students to engage with inclusive community-building activities– including attending Elder Talks as a group and visiting the Waabanjigaazo Exhibition at Union Gallery. Finally, through the principle of curiosity, we encourage staff to learn more about the social context and history of each person’s experiences and ideas. For example, this is demonstrated in our Student Staff Knowledge Exchange sessions, where students have the autonomy to lead conversations with their fellow staff on leadership skills important to them.
