Just like our campers, TAC staff is comprised of unique, talented, individuals. One counsellor is assigned to every six campers. In addition to our core counsellors, there is also a Camp Manager who oversees camp operations and a Camp Director, who oversees staff and camp programming.

Our staff are trained in First Aid & CPR, Survival & Wilderness Skills and Lifeguarding. They have all been screened and cleared to work with youth by the RCMP.

Ultimately, our staff are a major part of what makes TAC such a great experience and all share the same goal – to give our campers a positive, memorable experience that will last a lifetime.

TAC campers will also benefit from a number of guest artists and individuals who will share such talents as trapping to outdoor cooking, yoga and singing.

Recent guests have included:

Kiera Kolson

Kiera is a young northern inspiring aboriginal woman and prospering artist. Kiera facilitated a workshop that stressed the importance of believing in yourself and implicitly enhanced the self esteem of all who participated. She was a great inspiration to the campers, and having her participation the last day of camp brought a lot of positive energy to the final day and parted the girls with a heightened sense of esteem and inner strength.

Tara Newbigging

Tara is the owner of Fit 2 T.  She is a personal trainer and zumba teacher, and facilitated a zumba dance workshop at Taiga Camp. Zumba is latin based dance fitness that incorporates international music and movements. Dance is a fantastic way to be creative, exercise and find a comfort with one’s body.
