If you're a student looking for a meaningful, energizing and career-building summer job, the Town of Newmarket offers some of the best opportunities available. Our summer camp team plays an essential role in shaping positive experiences for children and youth, and every year I am inspired by the leadership, teamwork and creativity our staff bring to the community.
Working for the Town isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to grow your confidence, develop real-world skills and make a lasting impact on families who call Newmarket home. Many of our current community leaders, recreation professionals and full-time Town staff began their careers exactly this way by spending a summer supporting our camps, programs and young residents.
Why a Town of Newmarket Summer Job Is a Game-Changer
As a Councillor, I see firsthand how important our recreation and camp programs are to the community. Behind every successful season are talented staff who gain far more than a paycheque:
• Leadership growth: You learn to lead groups, manage responsibilities, support children with different needs and coordinate activities that build confidence and joy.
• Problem-solving and communication skills: These jobs prepare you for any future career including education, childcare, policing, business, health care and social services.
• Experience that strengthens your résumé: Employers value municipal experience because it shows professionalism, teamwork, reliability and community commitment.
• A supportive environment: You receive training, mentorship and guidance from staff who want to see you succeed.
• Making a difference: You help create memories families will remember for years.
