• 5+ years’ experience working with students (in a teaching or administrative role) between the ages of 8 and 18.
• 2+ years' experience in program administration. 
• 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.
• Vaccinated and boosted against COVID- 19

Before camp, Camp 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, Camp Directors will: 

• Address students’ needs and ensure student safety.

• Manage communication with parents.
• Meet teachers’ needs for classroom materials and activities. 
• Follow and maintain the camp budget. 
• Lead recreational activities as needed.
