Summer Camp Assistant Director - Everett - Steve & Kate's Camp

Location: 12911 39th Ave SE, Everett, WA 98208 Camp Dates: 6/24 - 8/16 (additionally, one weekend to set up, one weekend to breakdown, and an orientation date TBD) Camp Hours: 8:00 am - 6:00 pm (actual shifts will vary) Hourly Wage: $23.50 - $24.00 At Steve & Kate's, we put radical trust in kids so that they learn to trust themselves. Campers choose minute-to-minute how to spend their time because making decisions today helps to build the self-confidence they'll need to wrangle unknowns tomorrow. We value empowering our staff to be their whole authentic selves because everyone in our community needs to feel included! Sound like something you can get behind? If so, we're looking for team members who are motivated babysitters, teachers, coaches, students, athletes, artists, and anyone ready to play hard and be goofy. As a Steve & Kate's staff member, you'll sharpen your inherent leadership skills, learn some new ones, and collaborate with interesting people, all while immersing yourself in creativity and play. The job in a nutshell is to help run all facets of a self-directed camp. While working alongside one of our Directors responsible for leading each 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 you'll oversee the day-to-day operations of your site to keep things running smoothly and safely. There will likely be times throughout the day when you will manage camp operations without your Director on site, including opening or closing the location. We view this role as a training ground and pipeline for directors, so if you're interested in a career at Steve & Kate's, this is a great way to gain valuable experience and get your foot in the door.
