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 will 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 getting 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 will begin in April. In the pre-season, you will be trained by our Team Leads in all things camp, and you will slowly 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. Our management team will prepare you for camp, and then they will hand you the reins approximately 1-2 weeks before the Summer begins. While running camp you will build relationships with hundreds of parents and children, helping them overcome fears, discover passions and generally find their groove at Steve & Kate's. You will help train, lead and inspire a team, and oversee the day-to-day operations for your site to keep things running smoothly, safely and up to code.

• 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 can't rest until you have done everything possible to make someone feel cared for? Like, if someone you knew was in need, would you do more than send them a "thinking of you" text?
• Can you multitask like you are a Hollywood Power Agent all while keeping calm, level-headed and nice?
• Do you have the stamina to keep up (Literally) with 4 - 12 year old's bursting with energy and creative potential? And, can you bench press the equivalent of a kindergartner? (Just Kidding but can you lift up to 30lbs?)
