Job Description

Summer Camp Director

The Summer Camp Director is responsible for the overall day-to-day operation of camp and serves as the on-site leader throughout the summer season. This role requires a hands-on, dependable individual who can take ownership of camp operations while fostering a positive, calm, and family-oriented environment for campers and staff.

  • Provide daily leadership and oversight of all camp operations
  • Serve as the primary on-site point of contact for staff, campers, and families
  • Address and resolve issues as they arise with sound judgment and professionalism
  • Communicate clearly and consistently with leadership regarding camp operations, staffing, and concerns
  • Ensure a safe, structured, and supportive environment for all campers
  • Set and maintain a respectful, family-oriented tone for staff and campers
  • Support individuals with special needs, including managing behaviors in a compassionate and appropriate manner

Qualifications and Skills

  • Strong leadership, organization, and decision-making abilities
  • Comfortable supervising staff, providing direction, and holding team members accountable
  • Proactive, responsible, and able to work independently
  • Calm under pressure and adaptable when plans change
  • Excellent communication skills and strong follow-through
  • Prior experience working with individuals with special needs required
  • Previous camp leadership or staff management experience strongly preferred

Additional Information

This is a summer-only position; however, the hiring process will begin well in advance to ensure the right fit and allow for thoughtful preparation. Housing and meals are provided for the duration of camp.
