Job description

We're hiring a S&K Camp Director!
A 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 you will be doing in this role:
  • Responsible for all stages of the employee life cycle for seasonal teams of up to 30: attraction, recruitment, onboarding, development, retention and separation.
  • On-site manager responsible for all facets of a day camp that runs 9-10 weeks, with an average of 150 campers per day generating 6-7 figure revenue; also responsible for managing other holiday break programs (winter and spring) and pop-up child care events at school and day care facilities in their community.
  • Handles crisis, emergency, behavioral and medical response as needed when issues come up at camp or in other childcare settings.
  • Manages all customer contact for their programs, including responding to email and phone inquiries in a timely fashion, providing exceptional customer service, and handling sensitive and escalated matters for hundreds of prospective and attending camp families.
  • Develops relationships with local schools, PTAs, businesses and other organizations to create promotional opportunities for the camp by offering cash, in-kind donations and camp services / programming in exchange for marketing.
  • Leads online and in-person promotional events and presentations for prospective families regularly throughout the pre-season.
  • Manages compliance processes and ensures implementation of company, city and state required policies for camps and/or childcare facilities as applicable to their locality.
  • Manages a six-figure budget for personnel, food and programming.
  • Oversees all logistics and inventory management functions for hundreds of items valued in excess of six-figures, which are needed to run camp programs.
  • Manages relationship with host school that rents out facility where camp runs; also responsible for overseeing janitorial arrangements, security and site planning to ensure sanitary, safe and smooth operations.
  • Negotiates terms and manages relationship with local vendors that provide food and programming for their camp.

What we hope you will bring to this role:
  • At least 21 years of age with a HS/GED or bachelors degree
  • 24 weeks of previous administrative or supervisory experience at a camp; experience as a teacher or after school program director or counselor will also require you to have one summer of supervisory experience at a summer camp.
  • Bachelors Degree preferred
  • 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 remotely.
  • 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.

The salary for this position is $65,500 annually.
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.
