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 at camp, with whom, and for how long—because kids who learn to make decisions today build the self‑confidence they need to wrangle unknowns tomorrow. If you join our team as a
Seasonal Director , you will sharpen your inherent leadership skills and do meaningful work while gaining an immersive experience of creativity and play.
Steve & Kate's Summer Camp is an 8‑to‑11‑week program running from June to August. Training for this position begins in April. In the pre‑season, you will be trained by our Team Leads in all things camp, and you will gradually take on more responsibility until you own all camp positions on a daily basis.
The job, in a nutshell
Help run all facets of a self‑directed camp.
How do you know if you are the right candidate? If you answer yes to all of the questions below, you should definitely 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 cannot rest until you have done everything possible to make someone feel cared for?
Can you multitask like a Hollywood Power Agent while keeping calm, level‑headed and nice?
Do you have the stamina to keep up (literally) with 4‑12 year olds bursting with energy and creative potential? And, can you bench press the equivalent of a kindergartner? (Just joking—but can you lift up to 30 lbs?)
Essential Functions & Responsibilities
Share responsibility for all stages of the employee life cycle for seasonal teams of up to 30, including attraction, recruitment, onboarding, development, retention and separation.
Act as an on‑site manager responsible for all facets of a day camp that runs 8‑11 weeks, with an average of 150 campers (or more) per day, generating 6‑7‑figure revenue.
Handle crises, emergencies, behavioral and medical responses as needed when issues arise at camp.
Manage customer contact for programs, responding to email and phone inquiries in a timely manner and providing exceptional customer service for hundreds of prospective and attending camp families.
With support, manage compliance processes and ensure implementation of company, city and state required policies for camps and/or childcare facilities as applicable to the locality.
Manage a six‑figure budget for personnel, food and programming needs.
Oversee logistics and inventory management for hundreds of items valued in excess of six‑figures.
Manage relationships with the host school that rents the facility, overseeing janitorial arrangements, security and site planning to ensure sanitary, safe and smooth operations.
Job Requirements
At least 18 years of age with a high school diploma or GED required.
Bachelor’s Degree preferred.
Directors must have at least 2 seasons of Camp Supervisory experience, or equivalent experience in child care or education for at least 1 year coupled with supervisory experience.
Additional Job Requirements
Past management or leadership experience is required; experience hiring and managing teams of 5 or more is preferred.
During camp programs, the Director is expected to be on‑site. When camps are not in session, most planning work can be done remotely, but Directors are expected to actively market, recruit staff and promote camp in their community.
On‑site management at camp can be physically demanding, with extended periods of time on your feet, outside and occasional activity requiring physical exertion.
Directors will be expected to run break camps throughout the year.
Physical Requirements This position requires compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and company health and safety standards. If hired, you will work in person in a schooled‑aged camp setting to provide supervision, care, program delivery, and services per company policy and regulations.
Steve & Kate's Camp and Bright Horizons comply with all laws that require reasonable accommodations for qualifying disabilities and/or pregnancy‑related limitations.
The full set of physical requirements for this role are as follows:
Maintain and follow all safety and health rules of the location.
Organize and maintain clean and accessible activity spaces.
Assist in camp set‑up and breakdown during move‑in and move‑out weekends.
Stand for long periods while supervising children and facilitating activities.
Participate in athletic games.
Benefits
Where local regulations mandate, this position is eligible for sick time.
Deadline to Apply This posting is anticipated to remain open until April 15, 2026.
