A Typical Camp Day

Your day starts early with a quick check of the schedule, staffing coverage, and any overnight notes. You touch base with program areas to confirm timing, supplies, and transportation needs, then pivot between the office and camp property to keep operations moving. Throughout the day, you troubleshoot last-minute changes, document decisions, and keep communication clear across a busy team. You’ll also stay close to safety—reviewing weather updates, confirming emergency readiness, and ensuring protocols are followed. Evenings often include wrap-up check-ins, planning for the next day, and being a steady point of contact while camp is active.
