OFF SITE & SWIM ASSISTANT DIRECTOR ROLE & KEY TASKS

As one of our Off Site & Swim Assistant Directors, you ll report to the Camp Director and work closely with the Admin & Programming Assistant Directors. You will be responsible for facilitating and delivering safe, well-organized, and impactful off-site and swim experiences for campers. This role manages all aspects of the logistics required to travel to nearby parks, swim facilities, and field trip locations (around NY and NJ).

This includes: busing to field trips and swim facilities, planning travel and transportation routes, collecting and reviewing permission slips, managing and purchasing tickets, camper and staff supervision during off-site activities and events, maintaining health and safety protocols and managing risk factors, as well as being the point person for vendor communication & relationships. You are actively leading staff in creating a positive culture beyond the camp walls — where trips, outdoor adventures, and swim time are intentional extensions of camp programming, not just a change in scenery.

This role ensures that every off-site moment still reflects our mission to build confidence, community, and joyful movement through play.
