Camp Directors will also manage program staff and instructors, among other various duties. Camp Directors will begin planning camp programs in early spring and will live on-campus (lodging, meals, and parking provided) during program dates. 

The Summer Camp Director is probably our most rewarding and challenging camp position, and we believe that having a positive, organized, and effective camp director helps to create memorable and deeply enriching camp experiences for our students.

• 2 years' experience in program administration. 
• A calm and professional demeanor.

• Self-motivation and follow-through.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Strong people skills.

• Meet teachers’ needs for classroom materials and activities. 
• Follow and maintain the camp budget.
