Site Director​/Camp Director

Site Director

To ensure high-quality programming while maintaining financial sustainability, staffing structures are determined by site enrollment and program needs. The YMCA uses the following general staffing model:

• Sites with fewer than 40 enrolled children:
  Programs are overseen by an Assistant Site Director who serves as the primary on-site supervisor and is supported by an assigned Site Director mentor.
• Sites with 50–70 enrolled children:
  Programs are overseen by a Site Director serving as the primary on-site leader. The Site Director may also be assigned to mentor an Assistant Site Director at another location, based on operational needs.
• Sites with more than 70 enrolled children:
  Programs are staffed by both a Site Director and an Assistant Site Director working together on-site to support daily operations and staff supervision.

Staffing assignments may adjust based on enrollment fluctuations, licensing requirements, and program needs.

The Site Director provides leadership for one or more after-school childcare programs based on enrollment and operational needs. This role directly oversees larger enrollment sites and serves as a mentor and supervisor to Assistant Site Directors assigned to smaller locations.
