The ideal candidate is a dynamic leader who thrives in both program management and camp operations, enjoys working outdoors, and is committed to creating positive experiences for youth, families, volunteers, and staff.

Maintain proactive communication with campers, families, volunteers, and staff regarding camp operations and participant needs.
Address and resolve concerns related to camper behavior, child development, parent communication, and program delivery.
Plan, practice, and implement emergency procedures in partnership with outdoor and property teams.
Coordinate annual inspections, specialty program certifications, and vendor-supported training.
Maintain records, reports, evaluations, and recommendations for continuous program improvement.

Experience and Skills:

Required:

Demonstrated knowledge of child and youth development and age-appropriate programming.
Ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic environment.
Ability to respond calmly and effectively during emergencies.
Commitment to diversity, inclusion, professionalism, confidentiality, and youth safety.
