Travel Camp Directors are dynamic leaders who support multiple camp sites across a region, stepping in for Camp Directors or Assistant Directors during absences or when extra support is needed. Reporting to the Field Program Manager, you'll ensure smooth operations, mentor staff, and create a joyful, safe, and inspiring camp experience.
You'll bring Galileo's mission to life-fostering creativity, innovation, and fun-while managing daily logistics, camper behavior, and team culture. You may be assigned a home camp or rotate between sites as needed. Responsibilities also include family communication, staff onboarding, timecard approval, compliance, and upholding camp policies.
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.
Develop and manage your team effectively: Train and mentor a staff of 10-40. Provide clear expectations for instructional and program standards, ongoing feedback, and professional development, while also handling core management responsibilities such as staffing, scheduling, and payroll.
Model creativity and innovation: Use the Galileo Innovation Approach (GIA) to encourage curiosity and problem-solving. Lead your team in turning challenges into opportunities, keeping both spirit and operations aligned to Galileo's mission.
Build strong partnerships: Serve as the primary face of camp. Communicate proactively with families, facilities partners and HQ support teams, collaborate with your Field Program Manager, and cultivate trust with community partners, staff, and campers.
Location & Work Schedule:
This is a seasonal role running February-September 2026, with a schedule divided into three phases. Exact dates will vary based on your hire date and the dates of camp operations.
Phase One: Training & Prep (Feb-June/July): Up to 15 hrs/week, flexible and remote. Includes a Bay Area retreat, marketing events (some evenings/weekends), and on-site prep the week before camp starts.
Phase Two: On-Site (June-August): 40+ hrs/week during camp season (6-8 weeks), typically 45 hrs/week split with your assistant director team. Hours vary between 7am-6pm.
This role requires frequent travel to up to 6 camp locations within your region. You will provide support where needed, sometimes stepping in with little notice to ensure uninterrupted camp operations.
Once camp is in session (6-8 weeks), you'll typically work around 45 hours weekly. Due to the substitute nature of this role, your weekly schedule and assigned camps will vary based on where coverage is needed most during the camp season. You will cover a range of shifts between 7 am and 6 pm. When not scheduled or called in as a Camp Director or Assistant Camp Director, you will be a flexible on-site substitute to support the general successful operations of camp.
Phase Three: Wrap-Up (Aug-Sept): Up to 5 hrs total, remote, for final admin tasks and staff reviews.
Compensation:
(Year 1 estimate):
Preseason (Feb-June): Earn hourly pay ($21/hour) for flexible, part-time prep and training
Camp Season (June-Aug): Transition to a weekly salary ($1,350/week) as a full-time, exempt Camp Director during summer operations
Postseason (Aug-Sept): Wrap up with light part-time work, paid hourly ($21/hour)
Bonus/Commission: Earn an additional $1 per camper-week enrollment, plus potential commission for add-on weeks
Exact compensation may vary and will be based on multiple factors, including geography and Galileo camp director tenure. Our pay practices are guided by a commitment to equity and informed by market benchmarking and internal audits to minimize bias and ensure fairness across all roles.
Perks:
Free camp for your child(ren) or two giftable weeks (incl. extended care)
15% Friends & Family discount

Ability to travel to multiple locations across one or more region(s) throughout the summer
Flexibility to adapt and manage multiple priorities
