Steve & Kate's Camp Director (Princeton)

We're hiring a Steve & Kate's Camp Director!

An S&K Camp Director is responsible for all aspects of planning and executing an innovative, kid-centric summer day camp, as well as other seasonal break programs and pop-up childcare events throughout the year. This role involves developing and implementing local marketing initiatives; establishing and building relationships with hundreds of camp families; recruiting, hiring, training and leading seasonal teams, and; overseeing logistics, compliance, operations and inventory management for the programs they manage. Successful Camp Directors will create a dynamic, inclusive and growing camp community for campers, staff and families and deliver phenomenal programs for kids, while ensuring safety, operational efficiency and profitability.

How do you know if you're the right candidate?

• Do you appreciate and agree with empowering kids (and adults) to take risks and make their own choices?

• Would picking up the phone to strike up a conversation with business managers, school administrators, potential staff, and prospective families you've never met fit within your comfort zone? If not, are you willing to stretch?

• Can you knock out administrative tasks efficiently and with extreme attention to detail?

• Are you the type of person who can't rest until you've done everything possible to make someone feel cared for?

• Can you multitask like you're a Hollywood power agent while keeping calm, level-headed, and nice?

• Do you have the stamina to keep up (literally) with 4-12 yr. olds bursting with energy and creative potential? And, if needed, can you bench press a kindergartener (or at least lift up to 40lbs.)?

What we hope you will bring to this role:

• At least 21 years of age with a high school diploma or GED required

• Bachelor's Degree preferred

• Must meet one of the following experience requirements; 2 seasons of administrative experience at an organized, certified camp; 9 months of experience in a youth program; or 1 season of administrative experience at an organized certified camp and 1 year of teaching experience with a New Jersey Teacher Certificate.

Additional Job Requirements

• Past management or leadership experience and experience hiring and managing teams of 5 or more is preferred

• During camp programs, Director is expected to be on-site. When camps are not in session, most planning work can be done remotely, but Directors are expected to be actively marketing, recruiting staff and promoting camp in their community.

• On-site management at camp can be physically demanding, with extended periods of time on your feet, outside and occasional activity requiring physical exertion.

• Directors will be expected to run break camps throughout the year.

The salary range for this position is $58,000 - $65,000.
