play is how humans learn best . Every night, camp becomes a story. The forest turns into a kingdom under siege. The amphitheater becomes a council chamber. Counselors appear as villains, heroes, and mysterious guides. Campers solve riddles, form alliances, and work together to change the fate of the world. For
45–60 minutes , camp becomes something else entirely —
a living world . And we’re looking for the person who designs it. The Job We are hiring a

play can change lives . You might be: a game designer • a theatre maker • a dungeon master • a storyteller • an immersive experience designer • someone who grew up loving camp and never stopped imagining You should be able to: think creatively and move quickly • collaborate with a team of staff performers • design fun and engaging challenges • improvise when things inevitably change Bonus skills: theater production or stage direction • prop or set building • costume design • LARP or immersive theater experience • puzzle or game design • improvisation and performance Why This Role Matters In a world where so much childhood happens on screens, we create experiences kids can step into with their
whole bodies and imaginations . Campers learn that stories aren’t just something you consume —
they’re something you help create . And those moments of wonder stay with people for a lifetime. If you want to help
150 kids step into a new world every night , we want to hear from you. Join us at Camp Stomping Ground.
