The minimum requirement for our Camp Directors includes having 4+ years’ experience working with children – experience at Day Camp is an asset but not mandatory. We are looking for strong leaders passionate about creating fun and safe environments for children and youth to learn new skills, make new friends, and create life-long memories.

When asked why he is excited to return to camp this summer Lloyd shared,
“I love knowing that I am providing opportunities for children to explore and experience the outdoors, as well as participate in programs that they may never get a chance to do, such as, canoeing, kayaking, fire building and roasting marshmallows. It also excites me that I am able to create an atmosphere that fosters friendship and lasting memories. I have a deep passion for camp and I believe all children should experience its magic.”
When asked what he would say to someone considering the role of Camp Director with the Y for the first time he responded,
“Do it! You will not regret it. Being a Camp Director is a truly gratifying job. It will definitely be challenging at times, but having the opportunity to build a staff team and watch them grow and become a camp family is an amazing feeling. Not to mention, simply watching and hearing children enjoying themselves will melt anyone’s heart!”
