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; oversee daily operations, parent communication, and program delivery.
Keep camp safe and running smoothly: Prioritize camper safety and family trust; anticipate needs, adapt quickly, and problem-solve to ensure smooth operations.
Develop and manage your team: Train and mentor a staff of 10–40; set expectations for instructional standards, provide ongoing feedback and development, and manage staffing, scheduling, and payroll.
Model creativity and innovation: Use the Galileo Innovation Approach (GIA) to encourage curiosity and problem-solving; align team activities with Galileo’s mission.
Build partnerships: Serve as the primary face of camp; communicate proactively with families, facilities partners and HQ support teams; collaborate with the Field Program Manager and community partners.
