Camp Positions Hiring 2025
Camp Director is an integral part of our Tech Trek team who is positive, encouraging, and who helps to set the tone for camp. Her responsibilities consist of two main parts. The first is pre-camp planning: coordinating with the university, assisting with booking vendors or field trips, and collaborating on camp details with other volunteer leadership team members. The second part is directing camp. As Camp Director, you will assist volunteer staff members with camp challenges, communicate with staff and campers about where they need to be and when, and coordinate with parents to make camp a safe and comfortable environment. While Tech Trek occurs for one week out of the year, planning occurs year-round, particularly from February to July. Read/print job description –>
