Muskoka-Woods

Muskoka woods is really awesome because you get to meet lots of awesome people from all over the world. It's a great experience to grow in your faith with other people.  Working at CityCamp is a lot of work but fun. The only problem I have is that you're overworked (9 hour work day plus a few extra on Sundays and Fridays because of set up and tear down) and underpaid. It might look good that you're making $255-$275 at week but it only works out to $5-$6 an hour. Way under minimum wage. Sometimes they'll randomly take money from your paycheck without warning (they cut some from my pay for uniforms near the end of the summer) leaving you with even less than you have to begin with. As cool as it is to work at MW, the pay really really blows. I know money isn't everything but it's hard to pay for things when you're making horrible money and the company is taking more than they need from their employees.

I worked in the kitchen last summer and it was pretty great.  The working conditions themselves were decent, the only complaints I would have were things that are to be expected in a kitchen environment: super hot conditions, slippery floors, etc.  I made a ton of friends for life, and made so many good memories working at Muskoka Woods.  Unfortunately the only thing that was really negative about working at camp was the wage.  We were paid minimum wage of course, but they subtracted most of that money for food and housing.  That's not a problem, but by the end of the summer I came out with not much more money than I had started out with which is a bit of a shame.  But I would strongly encourage anyone that is considering working there to do so.  It's fulfilling seeing the impact you can make on the guests at camp, and nothing can replace the memories I made last summer.

Most enjoyable and challenging parts of this job:

-Participating in staff meetings, bible studies, one on one meetings, social events (soccer), small groups, and Cadence (church service)

Each day was thrilling, with guests, parents and staff always upbeat and encouraging. While I worked there, I learnt traits of myself that I never would have thought I could have. It also expanded my comfort zone which became helpful with interacting with others and team collaboration. The hardest part of the job was the maintenance of the activities there. Overall, it was an experience of meeting unique children and staff, making it a summer to remember.

My experience with Muskoka Woods was life changing. I gained a relationship with many people from around the world. Gained friendships that were never forgotten. Engaged in many activities with the campers and co-workers. My manager was very understanding and a good leader. The hardest part if my job was to deal with the 6:00 AM shifts and the most enjoyable part was all the love and interaction with my co-workers and managers.

My overall experience at Muskoka Woods was really good i really loved how supportive of a community the place was, if I can sum up my typical day at work it would have to be not knowing what to expect. The most enjoyable part of my job would have to be interacting with the guests and meeting staff from all over the world. The hardest part when I was in the kitchen would have to be early hours.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great staff and decent benefits 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The lack of care and safety in all levels of management 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic around the management especially in the summer 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A mix, no consistency everything was a mad race to the end

I love working at Muskoka Woods. Everyone is so sweet, staff is super helpful, and it's overall a great atmosphere. The only downfall is the pay, but everyone who works at Muskoka Woods doesn't do it for the money. This honestly creates a great group of people who share the same passion, while working at the camp.

I worked at Muskoka Woods in the summer of 2018. I was part of service crew. Each shift would last about 3-5h depending on how fast clean up was. Pay won't help you survive, but the people there that work with you are amazing. Great camp ground, lots to do. But if you're concerned about the money then this isn't the best choice for work.
