Job Information

Steve & Kate's Camp Summer Camp Assistant Director - San Mateo in San Mateo, California

Location: TBD

Camp Dates: TBD (one additional move-in day - date TBD)

Camp Hours: 8:00 am - 6:00 pm (actual staff shifts will vary, and hours on the final camp day may be extended)

Average Pay: $20.50 - $23.00 per hour

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 year-round 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 for your site to keep things running smoothly and safely. 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.

How do you know if you’re the right candidate?

If you answer yes to all of the questions below, definitely apply.

  • Do you appreciate and agree with our self-directed approach for kids?

  • Would sparking up conversations with staff, campers and parents fit in your comfort zone? Are you comfortable navigating challenging and sometimes sensitive interactions?

  • Are you the type of person who can’t rest until you’ve done everything possible to make someone feel cared for? Like, if someone you knew was in need, would you do more than send them a “thinking of you” text?

  • Can you multitask like you’re a Hollywood power agent all while keeping calm, level headed and nice? 

  • Do you have the stamina to keep up (literally) with 4–12 year old’s bursting with energy and creative potential? And, can you bench press the equivalent of a kindergartner (just kidding --- can you lift up to 30lbs.

  • -At least 18 years of age with a high school diploma or GED required

    -Bachelor's Degree preferred

    -As required by the American Camp Association (ACA) accreditation standards, Directors must have at least two seasons of camp supervisory experience.

    Additional Job Requirements

    -Past management or leadership experience is required; experience hiring and managing teams of 5 or more is preferred

    -During camp programs, Director is expected to be on-site. When camps are not in session, most planning work can be done remotely, but Directors are expected to be actively marketing, recruiting staff and promoting camp in their community.

    -On-site management at camp can be physically demanding, with extended periods of time on your feet, outside and occasional activity requiring physical exertion.

    -Candidate who meet the ACA standard of being at least 25 years old are preferred.

    -Directors will be expected to run break camps throughout the year. 

    -Candidate must be fully vaccinated for Covid-19 to ensure compliance with enhanced health and safety protocols and to keep yourself and others safe and free from illness.
