Assistant Camp Manager information

What are some common challenges Assistant Camp Managers face during peak season, and how can they effectively address them?

Assistant Camp Managers often encounter challenges such as balancing administrative duties with on-the-ground supervision, managing high camper and staff energy levels, and ensuring safety protocols are consistently followed. During peak season, prioritization and strong communication become crucial. Effective delegation, regular check-ins with team members, and proactive problem-solving help maintain a positive and safe environment for both staff and campers. Being adaptable and staying organized are key to navigating the fast-paced and dynamic nature of camp operations.

What are Assistant Camp Managers?

Assistant Camp Managers are professionals who support the overall operations of a camp, working under the supervision of the Camp Manager. Their responsibilities often include assisting with staff supervision, ensuring camper safety, organizing activities, handling logistics, and communicating with parents or guardians. They play a key role in maintaining a positive camp environment and ensuring that daily activities run smoothly. Assistant Camp Managers may also help resolve conflicts, oversee supplies, and step in for the Camp Manager when needed.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Assistant Camp Manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Assistant Camp Manager, you need strong organizational skills, leadership abilities, and experience in hospitality or recreation management, often supported by a relevant degree or prior camp supervisory experience. Familiarity with scheduling software, budgeting tools, and safety management systems is typically necessary. Outstanding communication, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills help build positive relationships with staff and campers. These skills ensure smooth camp operations, high-quality programming, and a safe, enjoyable environment for all participants.

What is the difference between Assistant Camp Manager vs Camp Director?

The Assistant Camp Manager typically supports the Camp Director in daily operations and supervision, focusing on hands-on management and activities. The Camp Director holds broader responsibilities, including strategic planning, staff management, and overall camp oversight. Both roles require similar certifications and work in outdoor, team-based environments, but the Camp Director has a higher level of leadership and administrative duties.

Job description

Overview

Join a vibrant, mission-driven organization that makes a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals and communities every day. At The Salvation Army, your work supports a legacy of service, compassion, and practical assistance for those who need it most.

Responsibilities

About the Role

The Assistant Camp Director is a key member of the Northern New England Divisional Youth Department, working directly alongside the Divisional Youth Secretaries to advance youth ministry across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. The core of this work is building and sustaining programs that bring young people into meaningful connection with The Salvation Army's mission, through camp, through divisional events, and through ongoing relationships with corps and families throughout the region.

Camp Sebago is the anchor of this role, and program development is at the heart of it. You will play a key role in shaping what camp offers: the curriculum, lesson studies, activities, and overall programming that keeps Camp Sebago relevant, fun, and impactful for the kids who come through its doors. From June through August you are on-site as part of the camp leadership team, bringing that vision to life while supervising seasonal staff, managing camper communications and logistics, and maintaining all required program standards and credentialing requirements.

Year-round, you are a key player in the planning and execution of divisional youth events, Youth Councils, Bible Bowl, Family Camp, retreats, and more, while helping to manage the administrative infrastructure that keeps the Youth Department running: database management, promotional materials, staff hiring and payroll coordination, event registration, and ongoing outreach to corps throughout the Division. This is a role for someone who brings organizational depth and a genuine heart for youth ministry.

  • Bachelor's degree and three to five years of relevant experience; equivalent combination considered
  • Demonstrated commitment to Salvation Army mission and youth ministry; active Salvationist in good standing
  • Experience in youth programming and staff supervision
  • Strong administrative and organizational skills
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office and Google Workspace; CampMinder experience a plus
  • Valid driver's license; ability to travel throughout the Division
  • On-site residency at Camp Sebago required June through August
  • Current First Aid certification required

Compensation and Benefits

  • Generous paid time off
  • Paid holidays
  • Sick leave
  • Personal days
  • Bereavement Leave
  • Excellent medical, dental, and vision benefits
  • Short-term and long-term disability
  • Retirement plan
