A CAMP DIRECTOR’S YEAR

The Camp Director role is a serious commitment but is designed to complement school-year employment or graduate school. Training kicks off with a weekend retreat in January followed by remote, part time work throughout the winter and spring until you’re leading your team and campers full-time June – August.*

(*For 2022, the Camp Director season will run late January-early August.)

I’m constantly amazed by the ripple effect Galileo continues to have in my life – I feel like there are lessons I’m still nurturing from my time with Galileo, along with the deeply ingrained ones that are embedded in my work. I’ve yet to have a more thoughtful, skillful and effective professional development support system than what I was provided with at Galileo.”
