Bright Horizons Children's Centers Steve and Kate's Seasonal Camp Director in Bothell, Washington

Steve & Kate's Summer Camp is an 8 to 10-week program, running from June to August. Training for this position will begin in April when you'll be trained by our Team Leads in all things camp. You'll slowly take on more responsibility until you own all daily camp operations. In a nutshell, this role helps run all facets of a self-directed camp for children ages 4 to 12. Our management team will prepare you for camp and then hand you the reins approximately 1-2 weeks before the summer begins.While running camp, you'll build relationships with hundreds of parents and children, helping them overcome fears, discover passions, and generally find their groove at Steve & Kate's. You'll help train, lead, and inspire a team, and oversee the day-to-day operations of your site to keep things running smoothly, safely, and up to code. If you're interested in a career at Steve & Kate's, this is a great way to gain valuable experience. 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, with whom, and for how long, because kids who learn to make decisions today build the self-confidence they'll need to wrangle unknowns tomorrow. If you join our team as a Seasonal Director, you'll sharpen your inherent leadership skills and do meaningful work, while getting an immersive experience of creativity and play. Wondering if this might be the right fit for you? Ask yourself the following questions. If you answer yes, we encourage you to 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?
