and the job listing Expires on January 23, 2026

Adventure is calling… and it’s coming to Cambridge, MA!

Champions is launching our Great Outdoors Summer Camp, and we’re searching for upbeat, spirited Camp Directors and Counselors who can bring the magic of summer to life! If you love sunshine, outdoor adventures, and inspiring young campers, this is your moment to shine.

Our camps are projected to open June 2026, with final activation determined by reaching required enrollment goals—your leadership plays a key role in getting us across the finish line! Camp Director training kicks off as early as March.

Phase One – Training & Readiness (Hire–March)
Mostly remote—with a few fun scheduled in-person meetups—this phase is all about gearing up! You’ll get onboarded, attend virtual and in-person trainings, and dive deep into everything that makes our program special. Think of it as your warm-up hike before the big adventure.

Phase Two – Business Operations (April–June)
This is when the excitement builds! You’ll host marketing events that spark enrollment, recruit and train your rock-star staff, map out field trips, and create the ultimate summer schedule. Reaching enrollment targets is essential for camp opening, and you’ll be front-and-center in rallying families and building momentum for launch. It’s your time to set the stage for an unforgettable camp season.

Phase Three – Camp Activation (June–August)
Game time! Once enrollment goals are met, you’ll bring camp to life—fine-tuning systems, leading your team, keeping quality high, maximizing camper joy and family engagement, and gathering feedback to make each day better than the last. You’ll close out the season with reflections, celebrations, and that classic “we did it!” camp feeling.

• Lead an enthusiastic team of counselors to create memorable, laughter-filled experiences for every camper.
• Keep camp running smoothly while ensuring every child and counselor stays safe, supported, and ready for adventure.
• Build meaningful relationships with families to create a welcoming, inclusive community.
• Partner with licensing teams, community groups, and client partners to make camp a success from every angle.
• Drive enrollment by hosting fun hiring and community events that get families excited for camp.

What You Bring to the Campfire

• At least one year of summer camp leadership experience—and a talent for inspiring and motivating a team.
• A true love for working with children and making their days brighter.
• Strong relationship-building skills with families, staff, and community connections.
• Stellar customer service, the ability to stay organized, and the superpower to juggle multiple moving pieces.
• Confident communication, conflict resolution, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to meet state requirements for the role.
• Physical readiness to work indoors/outdoors, lift 40 pounds, use basic tech, and stay active and engaged with campers.
