We create environments that motivate people to strive for their best.
IAWAH is open year-round, with our busy season stretching from April to October. During this time, IAWAH experiences three different seasons of work; Spring, Summer and Fall each with their unique style.
SPRING
The Spring Staff Team is made up of two specific groups with two start dates.
Early Spring - In the early spring the first group of senior leadership staff arrives to begin preparing for the busy spring and summer season. These individuals work to make the camp ready both in a logistical and physical sense. They work together to prepare activity areas, develop staff training sessions, and generally plan the summer experience for both Summer Camp and YDLP.
Late Spring- Near the end of May, the second group of staff arrives. These individuals enter into intensive training for a week and then lead school groups for the next three weeks. This team is made up of individuals who are:
Dedicated to providing high-quality space and program where students from eastern Ontario are welcomed and inspired to meet Christ.
Love to lead school groups in fun, exciting, and memorable experiences in recreational outdoor programming.
Committed to a high-quality guest experience, taking into account the guests' emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental safety.
Works as a team to support the guest experience through cleaning duties, food service shifts, and facilities work.
SUMMER
Summer is fully programmed with over 800 campers of all ages experiencing IAWAH’s own Camping ministry. There are a few separate staff teams in the summer, but all work and join together to provide a space where campers can come to experience and hear about life with God.

FALL
The Fall is filled with church retreats, high school leadership camps and IAWAH retreats. The Fall Staff Team have the same desire as the Spring Staff Team with an additional focus toward facilitating student leadership guest groups.
