Job description

The client is seeking a strategic and dynamic leader to serve as its next Executive Director. This role involves overseeing a range of core programs, including residential summer camps, a day camp, a family camp, and a year-round outdoor education center, which collectively serve thousands of participants annually. The organization is preparing for future growth, including the planned acquisition of an additional camp, and remains committed to fostering transformative experiences in nature that emphasize community, personal growth, and meaningful connections.

The Executive Director will be responsible for guiding the client's mission to inspire learning, growth, and connection through outdoor experiences.

The role emphasizes the development of character, agency, and self-discovery in noncompetitive environments, while upholding values of diversity, equity, and inclusion across all programs.

The leader will play a key role in integrating new programs, honoring the unique culture and history of each, and seeking opportunities for strategic growth. The Executive Director is expected to ensure that all programs remain relevant and impactful, rooted in the organization's core values and educational philosophy.
