Join us for a joy-filled summer in a mission-driven environment! As Assistant Camp Director, you’ll work closely and collaborate with the Camp Director to oversee daily camp operations, support staff, and ensure a joyful, safe, and inclusive experience for all campers. Serving as the “manager on duty” when necessary, you’ll balance camper safety, program quality, and a positive camp environment while building strong relationships with families and the camp team. This role offers an exciting opportunity for individuals eager to develop their leadership and management skills in a hands-on, dynamic setting. This is a seasonal role; Assistant Camp Directors work Monday - Friday (5 days per week), and can work either full-time or part-time hours depending on the needs of each camp location. Core Responsibilities Oversee Daily Camp Operations:

Act as the “manager on duty” in the Camp Director’s absence, supporting a seamless camp experience. Own daily operational and administrative tasks to ensure smooth program execution. Perform keyholder duties, handling opening and closing procedures as scheduled.
Provide Exceptional Customer Service:
Communicate with families about camper experiences and coach staff on effective, professional communication. Address escalated concerns, assisting staff as needed to ensure positive resolutions. Create a safe, fun, and engaging environment by balancing camper safety, operational needs, and staff support.

Manage Extended Care Program:
Independently direct the Extended Care program that is attended by campers before and after standard camp hours. Manage and plan activities, training and execution of camp programming.
Compensation At Galileo, we are committed to pay transparency and equity. We anticipate the compensation for this position to be $22.62 per hour for new (first-year) camp staff. Your exact pay rate will be determined based on a variety of factors, including work location and tenure.

Experience caring for, supervising, coaching, and/or mentoring children in groups of 15+. Bilingual in English and Spanish is a plus, but not required.
