Job description

Overview

YMCA Camp Shaver has been in operation as a summer camp since 1945 serving youth from all over New Mexico. We are a rustic facility with open air cabins for campers and staff. Our goals are to allow our campers to push themselves outside their comfort zones by making friends or trying something new. We also encourage them to learn about serving the communities that they live in through service projects. We have to have a great facility to make this happen.

The Camp Facilities Manager is a role that helps keep our rustic summer camp in a functional and welcoming state for both our campers and other staff members. You will be tasked with two main responsibilities: keeping our facilities functioning/maintained, and supervising cabins of campers (with their counselors) in various simple service projects around camp. Your goal is to make our home inviting to those joining us for 1 - 10 weeks, with an eye toward the future and possible concerns or opportunities that may arise in terms of managing our property.

This is a seasonal position, Monday-Friday and weekends as needed; Start Date and End date are negotiable but we serve campers from May 25th - August 8th and will need to be providing support onsite during this time frame.

• Maintain accurate records of repairs, maintenance schedules, and inventory management.
• Collaborate with staff to develop programs that enhance the camp experience for participants, primarily focusing on service projects.
• Provide training and support to staff on safety protocols and equipment usage as needed.
• Prep tools/materials for any projects and keep accurate inventory of our supplies.

Qualifications

• Proficient in basic plumbing, electrical, building repair and maintenance.
• Able to instruct campers/staff on how to do simple projects around camp.
• Experience researching and applying knowledge as needed for projects.
• Leadership skills with the ability to create a safe environment during camper/staff service projects.
