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.
Steve & Kate’s Summer Camp is an 8 to 10 week program, running from June to August. Training for this position will begin in March. In the pre-season you’ll be trained by our Team Leads in all things camp, and you’ll slowly take on more responsibility until you own all camp operations on a daily basis.
The job in a nutshell is to help run all facets of a self-directed camp.
Our management team will prepare you for camp, and then they will 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 for 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.
