You'll get paid an incredible $20,000 and all you have to do is create blog or vlog content as you go camping and glamping across Canada.

Not only will you get paid the equivalent of $500 per day, but your food and travel expenses will also be covered by the company.

Who are they looking for?

The position is open to all Canadians who have "reached the legal age of majority" in their local area, no matter where they live in Canada.

The ideal candidate will have a "huge personality and some social media skills" so they can document their camping and glamping adventures as they go.

The successful applicant will be chosen using criteria that measure their levels of creativity, as well as their technical and on-camera ability.

How do I apply?

To apply, you must record a 90-second (or less) video of yourself and upload it to YouTube before sharing it on the Hipcamp Best Summer Job website.

You'll then need to ask your friends and family to vote for your video via their own social media channels. Votes will be displayed on your entry page and will be considered part of your application.

Finalists for the role will be chosen on July 19, 2021, with the winner set to be announced on August 2.
