Seeking a Nanny for our son Logan for the Fall 2025 ALIVE Outdoors Season

ALIVE Outdoors is an Outdoor and Experiential Education Company with over 25 years of history developing and facilitating meaningful and engaging outdoor, international, and city-based programs, focused on helping people develop a strong center core, as well as an authentic connection to the natural environment and their peers. 

While Mom and Dad are facilitating programs at Camp Arowhon, we are looking for a Nanny to care for, teach and have fun with our son Logan, who will be 3.5 years old at the start of this contract.  This role is right for someone who values the camp/outdoor education environment, the beauty of Algonquin Park in the fall, and being immersed in a wonderful community of educators.  There will be other young children and Nannies on site for other directors’ children, creating lots of opportunities for outdoor activities and group play. Accommodations and food are provided.

Location: Camp Arowhon, Algonquin Provincial Park.

Duration: August 31st – October 18th (End Date Flexible, possibility for extension).

Rate of Pay: $ 150 – 185 per day, depending on experience. Overtime will apply if applicable.

Approximate Time (Daily): 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM to be negotiated.

If you are interested or would like to learn more, please email Sam Dear (Logan’s Mom) at sam@aliveoutdoors.com.   The ability to connect with our previous Nanny regarding this experience is available.
