Middle School Assistant Camp Director

About the Role

The Middle School Summer Camp Assistant Director will serve in a hands-on role to help create and execute dynamic programming that reaches campers while leading and developing college-aged staff to grow into the next generation of Christian leaders. This person will take special responsibility for female campers and staff and will spend time recruiting excellent summer staff and counselors. The role is ideal for a deeply relational, creative individual who desires to be active in the programming and camper experience.
