You will lead a dynamic seasonal team of educators as well as enthusiastic entry-level staff to create joyful, safe environments, and ensure smooth daily operations. With a focus on exceptional camper and family experiences, you will uphold program quality, foster creativity, and deliver excellence in customer care, curriculum, and team leadership.

Core Responsibilities:

Bring Galileo’s spirit to life:  Infuse camp with joy, tradition, and creativity. Build an inclusive environment where every camper, staff member, and family feels seen, supported, and inspired.

Lead with ownership and vision: Own every aspect of your camp’s launch from preseason planning through end-of-summer wrap-up. As both operational lead and culture builder, oversee every detail from daily camp operations to parent communication, while delivering an exceptional program.

Keep camp safe and running smoothly: Prioritize camper safety and family trust at all times. Anticipate needs, adapt quickly, and problem-solve on the fly to ensure camp runs seamlessly, even when things don’t go as planned.

Galileo Learning brings best-in-class educational programs to tens of thousands of kids each year through 75+ in-person summer day camps across the country.
