Be part of something special this summer and join the Rusalka Ukrainian Dance Camp team!🇺🇦

As Rusalka Ukrainian Dance Camp continues to grow, we're thrilled to welcome more campers than ever before in 2026! With this exciting expansion, we're looking to add Senior Camp Counsellors to our dynamic and supportive team.

If you enjoy working with youth, thrive in an energetic camp environment, and want to help create a meaningful and memorable experience for young dancers, we would love to hear from you!

Senior Counsellors must be available for the week of August 16-23, 2026. This is a sleep-away camp, so all counsellors will be spending their nights as well as their days at Ukrainian Park Camp (North of Gimli, Manitoba).

We're looking for enthusiastic, responsible, and positive team players. Experience in Ukrainian dance is preferred, but not required, and you'll be supporting campers 12-17 years of age.

Our counsellors help foster a welcoming, inspiring camp environment where dancers build friendships, celebrate culture, and create lasting memories.

Join our growing camp family and help make this summer another incredible experience for our dancers!

Interested? Please send a message of interest and request for more information by April 5, 2026 to [email protected].
