Camp Director - All-Stars Sports and Beyond Summer Camp

The Camp Director is ultimately responsible for roughly 100 campers each day and must be able to manage staff and work with kids of all ages to conduct a safe, enjoyable and postive summer camp experience. Camp will be held at The Lake Forest Recreation Center.

Each week will feature a different sport where staff will instruct basic skills in that sport through drills and game play. Daily activities will include the coaching of each sport as well as introductions of group games and actvities that promote building strong character and team building. Above all, FUN is stressed at this very popular camp.

There are daily swim trips to and from the Lake Forest Beach and Lake Forest High School pool. Each Wednesday is a field trip to various locations around northern Illinois, including a handful of waterparks (counselors are expected to be in the water with campers).

At a minimum, applicants MUST be committed for 8 weeks of camp and the 1 week of last hoorah as noted below. Ideally, the candidate will be able to direct all the camp options listed below.

Reasonable requested days off are exceptable as long as they are communicated to the Program Supervisor during the interview.
