At Steve & Kate's, we put radical trust in kids so that they learn to trust themselves. Campers choose minute to minute what they do at camp, with whom, and for how long… because kids who learn to make decisions today build the self‑confidence they will need to wrangle unknowns tomorrow. If you join our team as a Seasonal Director
, you will sharpen your inherent leadership skills and do meaningful work, while getting an immersive experience of creativity and play.

Steve & Kate's Summer Camp is an 8 to 11 week program, running from June to August. Training for this position will begin in April, and in the pre‑season you will be trained by our Team Leads in all things camp. You will slowly take on more responsibility until you own all camp positions on a daily basis.

• Shares responsibility for all stages of the employee life cycle for seasonal teams of up to 30 – including attraction, recruitment, onboarding, development, retention and separation.
• Acts as an on‑site manager responsible for all facets of a day camp that runs 8‑11 weeks, with an average of 150 campers per day, generating 6‑7 figure revenue.
• Handles crises, emergencies, behavioral and medical responses as needed when issues come up at camp.
• Manages customer contact for their programs, responding to email and phone inquiries in a timely manner and providing exceptional customer service for hundreds of prospective and attending camp families.
• Manages compliance processes and ensures implementation of company, city and state required policies for camps and/or childcare facilities as applicable.

• Past management or leadership experience is required; experience hiring and managing teams of 5 or more is preferred.
• During camp programs, the 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 on your feet, outside, and occasional activity requiring physical exertion.
• Directors will be expected to run break camps throughout the year.

This position requires the employee to comply with all applicable federal, state, local, and Steve & Kate's Camp health and safety training.
