One social media savvy person will be paid more than $60 an hour to spend the summer camping across Canada.

As many Canadians suffer serious cabin fever, Hipcamp celebrates its Canadian launch with the Canada鈥檚 Best Summer Job competition.

The winner will spend 40 days blogging or vlogging across the nation 鈥 earning $20,000 as well as a stipend for food and travel. 鈥淲e fell in love with the idea of offering one lucky Canadian the paid opportunity to adventure across the country and experience some of the best outdoor stays Canada has to offer,鈥 said Hipcamp CEO Alyssa Ravasio.

Founded in 2013, Hipcamp is the world鈥檚 largest provider of outdoor stays and has offices in Australia, the United States, and Canada. When listing on Hipcamp, farmers, ranchers, vintners, and other landowners generate new revenue streams.
