For the right candidate, the Camp Manager role may be a stepping stone to either the Club Manager role or a near‑future full‑year Executive Director role, with a flexible off‑season time commitment. Priority in hiring will be given to a candidate who demonstrates a longer‑term commitment to the development of this role and the next steps for the future of the Club.
