RESEARCH LEAD

National Survey: Why Parents Choose Summer Camps Are you a curious and motivated student with a passion for education and recreation research? We want you. At OUR KIDS Media, research is one of the ways we strengthen our mission of helping families make confident, informed choices. This is a unique opportunity to lead a national study on Canadian parents’ decision-making about summer camps and programs — a project that will generate insights that would help both camps and families across Canada. Who are we? We’re Canada’s #1 guide to summer camps and programs. We’re also the #1 private school guide, and the #1 retirement community guide. We’re a two-sided platform: we help families understand their options with clarity, and we help camps, schools, and communities connect with the right families at the right time. About the Project “National Survey: Why Parents Choose Summer Camps” will focus on parents’ perspectives. It will attempt to uncover the most important factors influencing how families select summer camps and programs. It will explore parental expectations regarding camp experience, and how those expectations align with — or differ from — the actual outcomes they see once their child attends. Results will be segmented by camp type (day vs. overnight), activity focus (arts, sports, STEM, leadership, outdoor adventure), geography, and more. The findings will culminate in a national report for the camp sector and a set of highlight snapshots that camps can share with families as part of their outreach. Results will also be featured on OurKids.net and Camps.ca. What you’ll do You’ll take the lead on this high-profile national project. Specifically, you’ll: Develop and refine survey questions in collaboration with OUR KIDS editorial and marketing teams.
