Job Description:

A Division Leader is responsible for providing an amazing summer camp experience for an age-group (Division) of campers! Our Divisions include both boys and girls groups, with 12-16 per group and between 4-8 groups per Division. Our ages range from 4 to 14. Each group is led by a Group Leader and Counselor, and the Division Leader is responsible for supervising these staff members, but may also have Group Leader responsibilities of their own.

This role involves the organization and management of a Division through a 9 week summer program, from June 24th to August 23rd. Staff training earlier in May and June is also required. Regular Camp hours are 9-4, Monday to Friday. Division Leaders are expected to arrive early (8am) to prepare for the day and stay late to debrief the day with the Camp Directors (until 5:00pm approx), and to make follow up calls to parents. Communicating between departments and with Camp parents is a crucial part of the job.
