Successful SiteDirectors must be able to manage and work productively with campers, their parents, and camp staff. A bachelor’s degree is required. A master’s degree orPhD is a plus.

• A calm and professional demeanor.


• The willingness and ability to work long hours.


• Self-motivation and follow-through.


• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.


• Strong people skills.


• A passion for education.


• The ability to manage others in a high-energy environment.

Before camp, Site Directors will:

• Attend director training meetings.


• Regularly communicate with EU headquarters.


• Meet with campus conference staff prior to the start of camp.


• Prepare and finalize camp schedules and activities.

During camp, Site Directors will:

• Address students’ needs and ensure student safety.


• Handle campus relations (facilities, dining, classrooms, etc).


• Manage communication with parents.


• Meet teachers’ needs for classroom materials and activities.


• Follow and maintain the camp budget.


• Lead recreational activities as needed.


• Manage camp staff, including instructors and, in some cases, assistant directors or counselors.

Site Directors may be hired for one week or for multiple sessions at a campus. Please indicate your availability on the job application.
