Are you looking to change a life? If so, you’ve come to the right place!
Our programs deeply impact hundreds of participants each year and we need your help to make it all happen. From Bearskin Meadow Camp to CDLN and our Adventure Programs, DYF is committed to hiring enthusiastic and dedicated individuals. Our seasonal staff is the backbone of DYF, and their passion for improving the quality of life for children, teens and families affected by diabetes makes our programs a success.
We are seeking individuals who are passionate, creative, patient, hard-working, and can function in an environment with high demands and long hours. Knowledge of diabetes is an asset but is not required. Paid positions at Bearskin Meadow Camp and CDLN include kitchen and maintenance staff, counseling staff, and program leadership roles. We are also seeking a few qualified wilderness guides for our Adventure Programs!

Do I need to know about diabetes?
You don’t need to be a diabetes expert to apply for a position with us! We will teach you everything you need to know in our pre-camp training and we will always pair you up with an experienced staff member. Some of our best staff have started with no diabetes knowledge – the next one could be you!
