As the face of camp beyond the building, you carry our mission into many different community spaces. Your calm presence, organization, and tone during transitions in outside spaces show who we are as a camp—especially during the moments when safety, preparation, and trust matter most.
Camp Culture:
Off‑site experiences are a powerful culture driver—test whether our values hold up when we’re not “on home turf.” You create a sense of belonging on the go: making nervous swimmers feel brave, helping new campers feel included on a trip, and guiding staff to stay engaged and not just supervise, but connect.

You continually look for ways to elevate the experience—more intentional swim trips, smoother bus transitions, stronger safety systems, clearer staff roles, more staff voice and excitement in trip planning.
Positive:
Off‑site days come with unpredictable moments—weather changes, delays, reroutes, tired campers. Your energy sets the tone.
Committed:
Families trust us most when logistics are tight and safety feels intentional. Your preparation—ratios, documentation, medical needs, backup plans—ensures off‑site programming runs smoothly and confidently.
Inclusive:
You ensure that every camper feels like the swim deck or field trip is for them—advocate for accommodations, modify expectations when needed, and create space for different comfort levels.
Empathetic:
You hold space for the emotions wrapped into off‑site days—excitement, nerves, separation worries, sensory overwhelm, first‑time swimmers, different ability levels. You lead your staff in seeing the child behind the behavior and responding with care.

Lead staff huddles before and after each off‑site experience to reinforce expectations and reflect on improvements.
Support in leading staff training on emergency response, first aid procedures, and appropriate camper management techniques.

Provide training to other camp staff on off‑site travel procedures (buddy system, headcounts, Rule of 3, call and responses, staff placements, etc.).
Review safety and supervision procedures prior to all on‑site travel with the campers and staff through daily meetings and all‑camp rallies.
Work with Division Leaders and Counselors to ensure that campers understand the safety procedures required for being at the park, swimming and locker rooms, field trips and large outings, etc.
Maintain accurate and updated group rosters and consent forms for park travel, open swim and swim lessons, and field trips.
Confirm pre‑purchased tickets/reservations in advance; confirm headcounts with partners and purchase additional tickets as needed.
Prepare trip packs—contact lists, meds, attendance sheets, emergency docs, incident report sheets.
Coordinate swim groups by pulling accurate rosters, changing room transitions, and ratio coverage.
Communicate off‑site travel plans and relevant tasks proactively to the staff and Camp Director for a smooth rollout.

Model problem‑solving and calm leadership when plans change.
Provide feedback in the moment to campers and staff to reinforce camper safety and professionalism.
