• Executive Director Of Resident Camp And Leadership Programs Executive Director of Resident Camp and Leadership Programs --Are YOU the Bear Grylls of residential camp administration? This will light your campfire... Job Description The YMCA of Northern Colorado is seeking an experienced adventurer and an organized administrative pioneer to pick up the compass and guide our residential camp to higher budgetary, programmatic and philanthropic elevations. We are hiring a high-caliber Executive Director of Resident Camp & Leadership Programs to oversee our resident camp, the beautiful YMCA Camp Santa Maria, and lead our youth leadership programs. You might be the right candidate if ... "Camping" is your middle name (maybe not your legal middle name per se, but something you've adopted over the years). However, your passion for the outdoors is balanced with your programming prowess, leadership chops, organizational know-how and supreme budgeting ability. You're like the Bear Grylls of residential camp administration. You use your camp-centric education and experience to plan and implement strategic, operational and communication efforts. You think at a high level and have high expectations of your staff, fostering an environment of innovation, positivity and teamwork at the camp. You are a Swiss Army Knife of a person: adaptable, flexible and efficient. Our ideal candidate wears clothing with plenty of pockets and is not afraid to break out in song if the occasion calls for it. He or she believes in tradition, in the art of the campfire and the science of good s'more. At the same time, candidates should thrive in a world of rules, cherish safety, inclusion initiatives and licensing policies. You are comfortable with - nay, you love - budgeting, implementing risk-mitigation procedures, tackling administrative and marketing duties, training and doing work that some may consider dull...but you certainly would not! You are guided by a love and respect for nature, for others and for the life-changing power of camp. You champion camping as a means of teaching children and teens life lessons, giving them a place to explore and disconnect from technology, allowing them to celebrate their individuality and embracing them within the camp community.

New employees, hired after November 1, 2021, will be required to show proof of at least 1st dose of vaccine before their first shift. They will then have 30 days to provide proof of full vaccination.
