  • Jersey City Summer Camp Off Site & Swim Assistant Director - Seasonal

    Kids In The Game 3.3company rating

    Kids In The Game job in New York, NY

    TURN YOUR SUMMER INTO SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY - BECOME A SEASONAL JERSEY CITY OFF SITE & SWIM ASSISTANT DIRECTOR WITH KIDS IN THE GAME! Empower Staff, Inspire Campers, and Build a Summer That Matters. Kids in the Game provides unforgettable day camp experiences for hundreds of New York children across Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and now Westchester & Jersey City! When you join the Kids in the Game summer camp leadership cohort, you'll be part of a dynamic team of Camp Directors, Assistant Directors and 275+ coaches running outstanding programming at our 13 summer day camps. THE KIDS IN THE GAME SUMMER CAMP EXPERIENCE Kids in the Game camps are where sports, creativity, and community come together to shape confident, compassionate, and connected kids. Every summer, our camps across New York City, Westchester & Jersey City bring together diverse groups of children to explore new sports, build friendships, develop positive social skills, and learn how to be part of a team. Our camps offer kids a uniquely designed blend of sports and games, arts and crafts, STEM enrichment, field trips, swim activities, theme weeks, and all-camp special events to make every week the highlight of a child's summer. Each day is fueled by energy, laughter, and belonging. Our team of camp leaders, specialists, and counselors create an environment where every child feels seen, supported, and inspired to try something new. We believe camp is more than a summer activity - it's a place where kids discover who they are and who they can become. As a Certified B Corporation, we're also on a mission to positively impact the lives of all of our stakeholders - campers, families, staff, community members, and our partners. We're looking for Assistant Directors who want to inspire the next generation of leaders, model and build emotional intelligence, boost kids' confidence, create tight-knit communities, and bring inclusive camp programs into communities across NYC, Westchester & Jersey City. Your Leadership Can Change the Game - Join Kids in the Game This Summer. OFF SITE & SWIM ASSISTANT DIRECTOR ROLE & KEY TASKS As one of our Jersey City Off Site & Swim Assistant Directors, you'll report to the Camp Director and work closely with the Admin & Programming Assistant Directors being responsible for facilitating and delivering safe, well-organized, and impactful off-site and swim experiences for campers. This role manages all aspects of the logistics required to travel to nearby parks, swim facilities, and field trip locations (around NY and NJ). This includes: busing to field trips and swim facilities, planning travel and transportation routes, collecting and reviewing permission slips, managing and purchasing tickets, camper and staff supervision during off-site activities and events, maintaining health and safety protocols and managing risk factors, as well as being the point person for vendor communication & relationships. You are actively leading staff in creating a positive culture beyond the camp walls - where trips, outdoor adventures, and swim time are intentional extensions of camp programming, not just a change in scenery. This role is ensuring that every off-site moment still reflects our mission to build confidence, community, and joyful movement through play. We currently have 1 Jersey City and 11 New York based camp locations with the possibility of a Queens camp. The sites and addresses for the Jersey City location is: Jersey City: 118 Ferry St. Jersey City, NJ 07307 You must be able to arrive by 7:30am daily via public transportation or personal transportation (car) and stay on-site until 5pm daily (and until 5:30pm twice per week to oversee after care activities). The Off Site & Swim Assistant Director's responsibilities include: Ambassadorship, Core Values & Camp Culture Ambassadorship: 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. The way you manage travel, expectations, and group readiness communicates to others what it looks like to lead with purpose, joy, and responsibility. You should be prepared to interact with the public and vendors on a daily basis - whether connecting with bus drivers, reaching out to swim and trip vendors to confirm upcoming sessions, or representing our camp community when we're out in the park and shared public spaces. Camp Culture: Off-site experiences are a powerful culture-driver-they 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 . Whether you're leading a pre-trip huddle, celebrating swim growth, or turning a walk to the park into a team moment, you reinforce that camp culture travels with us everywhere we go Ambitious: 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. You don't just “get everyone there.” You make sure the experience feels thoughtful, developmental, and memorable. Positive: Off-site days come with unpredictable moments-weather changes, delays, reroutes, tired campers. Your energy sets the tone. When you stay grounded and optimistic, staff and campers mirror it. Your patience and encouragement help campers try the pool for the first time, visit a place they have never been, or bounce back from small frustrations along the way. 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. Your consistency helps staff know what to expect, which lets them show up better for kids in the moment. Inclusive: You ensure that every camper feels like the swim deck or field trip is for them -not just the kids who are already confident, athletic, or outgoing. You advocate for accommodations, modify expectations when needed, and create space for different comfort levels. You celebrate every "win” and exciting moment. 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. By protecting emotional safety alongside physical safety, you help kids feel supported enough to try, risk, grow, and come back tomorrow feeling proud of themselves. Safety, Compliance & Supervision Ensure all park, trip and swim experiences meet Department of Health standards and Kids in the Game safety procedures. Check on park safety daily - landscape, the public around the area, transition routes, required permits. Conduct regular visits during the week to the park to make sure safety standards are being met by the rest of the camp staff. Maintain appropriate staffing ratios (1:5) at all times and reassign staff as needed to close gaps. Conduct pre-trip safety checks (materials, headcounts, meds, waivers, consent forms, emergency contacts, buddy system). Monitor weather, route changes, and partner communication to make real-time safety decisions. 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. Respond to behavioral, medical, or environmental incidents calmly and effectively; communicate outcomes with families and leadership. Maintain a culture of psychological safety-ensuring every camper and staff member feels physically and emotionally secure. Logistics & Operations Organize and confirm the daily and weekly transportation plans (bus, subway, walking routes). 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. Family Experience & Communication Support the Admin Assistant Director with collecting and organizing swim and trip consent forms and documentation follow-up. Build trust by being visible and approachable during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up especially on swim/field trip days. Respond to parent questions clearly and confidently about safety, supervision, and expectations. Help create talking points and day-of updates so families feel informed and connected about all off site trips and swimming. Work with Admin Assistant Director and camp photographer to take photos and videos of campers and staff during off-site activities to upload to Waldo photo-sharing platform and share with families in newsletters. Staff Leadership & Culture Coach counselors on how to actively supervise, engage, and support different ages during swimming activities (inside and outside of the pool) and locker room transitions, lead groups on field trips, and park-based activities. Model problem-solving and calm leadership when plans change. Provide feedback in the moment to campers and staff to reinforce camper safety and professionalism. Collaborate with the Programming & Admin Assistant Directors to ensure cross-team communication and collaboration; ask for support when needed. Celebrate small staff wins and create a culture where experiences feel exciting and safe for everyone.
