Responsibilities
Bring Galileo’s spirit to life: Infuse camp with joy, tradition, and creativity. Build an inclusive environment where every camper, staff member, and family feels seen, supported, and inspired.
Lead with ownership and vision: Own every aspect of your camp’s launch from preseason planning through end-of-summer wrap-up. As both operational lead and culture builder, oversee daily camp operations, parent communication, and deliver an exceptional program.
Keep camp safe and running smoothly: Prioritize camper safety and family trust at all times. Anticipate needs, adapt quickly, and problem-solve to ensure camp runs seamlessly.
Develop and manage your team effectively: Train and mentor a staff of 10–40. Provide clear expectations for instructional and program standards, ongoing feedback, and professional development, while handling staffing, scheduling, and payroll.
