Steve & Kate's Camp Director (Encinitas)
Bright Horizons Family Solutions
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 of one the following:
At least 24 years of age with a high school diploma or GED required
Bachelor's Degree preferred
At least two prior seasons of administrative or supervisory experience in an organized camp or in a summer program working with children
Additional Job Requirements
Past management or leadership experience is required; 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 from home, but Directors are expected to be actively marketing, recruiting staff and promoting camp in their community (as defined by a 15 mile radius from their host school location).
On-site management at camp can be physically demanding, with extended periods of time on your feet, outside and occasional activity requiring physical exertion.
Candidates who meet the ACA standard of being at least 25 years old are preferred.
-
Directors will be expected to run programming throughout the year when school districts are not in session.
The salary range for this position is $70,000 - $72,100.
The range of compensation listed here or that may be discussed in the interview process is what Bright Horizons in good faith anticipates offering for this job opening. Actual compensation offers will depend on a variety of factors including experience, education and training, certifications, geography, and other relevant business or organizational factors.
