Job Description:
Steve & Kate's Summer Camp is an 8 to 10-week program, running
from June to August. Training for this position will begin in April
when you'll be trained by our Team Leads in all things camp. You'll
slowly take on more responsibility until you own all daily camp
operations.In a nutshell, this role helps run all facets of a
self-directed camp for children ages 4 to 12.Our management team
will prepare you for camp and then hand you the reins approximately
1-2 weeks before the summer begins.While running camp, you'll build
relationships with hundreds of parents and children, helping them
overcome fears, discover passions, and generally find their groove
at Steve & Kate's. You'll help train, lead, and inspire a team, and
oversee the day-to-day operations of your site to keep things
running smoothly, safely, and up to code. If you're interested in a
career at Steve & Kate's, this is a great way to gain valuable
experience.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, with whom, and for how long, because kids who learn
to make decisions today build the self-confidence they'll need to
wrangle unknowns tomorrow. If you join our team as a Seasonal
Director, you'll sharpen your inherent leadership skills and do
meaningful work, while getting an immersive experience of
creativity and play.Wondering if this might be the right fit for
you? Ask yourself the following questions. If you answer yes, we
encourage you to apply!
- Do you appreciate and agree with our self-directed approach for
kids?
- Would sparking up conversations with staff, campers, and
parents fit in your comfort zone? Are you comfortable navigating
challenging and sometimes sensitive interactions?
- Are you the type of person who can't rest until you've done
everything possible to make someone feel cared for? Like, if
someone you knew was in need, would you do more than send them a
"thinking of you" text?
- Can you multitask like you're a Hollywood power agent all while
keeping calm, level-headed, and nice?
