We respect campers and staff of all faiths and backgrounds, as we join together to build a community of caring, laughter, friendship, and fun!  

Role Description

Working closely with the Executive Director, the Associate Director assists in the overall operation of Sparrow Lake Camp year-round. Wearing many hats depending on the time of year, the Associate Director will assist with administration, logistics, marketing, business management, staff training, and family/client relations.

Key Details

Hours:Full-time, year-round, permanent (Appx. 30hrs/week September – April, 40hrs/week May-August). Some pre-arranged weekend work expected May-September with time-off in lieu of overtime pay. Core hours are Monday-Friday, 10am – 5pm, with extended hours working and living on-site during the summer.

Location:Work remotely/at home, preferably in the Hamilton/KW/Mississauga area with regular weekly meetings in Hamilton September – April. Live on site at our camp in Severn Bridge, ON May-August (room and board provided)

Pay range:$35,000 to $50,000 annually, depending on skills and experience

Key tasks:database management, customer service, social media, simple logistics planning, speaking to the public, simple accounting, marketing, computer design, word processing, driving, staff-training, facilitating camp activities.

Responsibilities

Customer Service

Central to the role is the registration of campers for camp programs. You’ll be the friendly voice of Sparrow Lake Camp to parents and staff by phone and email. At times, you will need to go out of your way to make their day, and provide excellent, and attentive customer service.

You will need to employ an understanding of positive user experiences, and have good computer and web skills to be able to design and implement easy-to-use registration forms for our programs. Now and then, you’ll need to help troubleshoot issues with our online database, and make sure that our processes are properly supported for our clients. 

During our shoulder season (May-June & September) you’ll work with the Executive Director to facilitate programing and operations for rental groups who use the camp for programming during the off-season. You’ll also be called upon to ensure that the groups have everything they need to have a great time at SLC, whether they’re running their own programming, or looking to us to do it for them.

Marketing

Ideally, you’ll have a keen interest in telling stories with social and traditional media. You’ll know how to get people’s attention, and attract new campers to Sparrow Lake both online, and in person. You’ll be updating our website with new photos and text, keeping our online store in order, and otherwise working with the Executive Director to tell everyone about the great things that go on at Sparrow Lake Camp.

Administration

Of course, you’ll need to keep everyone organized in our Camp Brain Database (training provided), which means you’ll likely have some experience with spreadsheets or databases, and a passion for keeping things in order. You’ll need to book busses, order T-shirts, and ensure that all our processes comply with current privacy and other regulations.

From time to time, particularly as we approach board meetings, you’ll be asked to help create reports and presentations for our board members, and other key stakeholders.

Having a keen eye for finances and expenses, you’ll work with the Executive Director to keep Sparrow Lake running on time, and on budget. Depending on your skills and experience, you may be called upon to do more advanced book keeping, and help with budget planning, although this is not a necessary core responsibility of the job.

Position Requirements  

As a key leadership role within a children’s summer camp, it is imperative that you love working with people of all ages, and with children from 5-16 years of age. Your social skills will be put to the test as you help to support the needs of campers, staff, parents, and other stakeholders. Other key criteria include:

An education and/or experience on camps, education, hospitality or a related field.

The ability to manage your own time and projects and deliver to a schedule. The positon will involve a lot of time working unsupervised with the expectation that you will deliver key results.

A working understanding of social media and web-based marketing platforms.

Flexibility and comfort in adapting to changes of plan and environment. If you require a consistent work environment, you’ll likely not enjoy this position.

An ability to create and keep order in teams and projects.

An honest love of working with others on projects in a collaborative environment.

Computer book-keeping skills an asset.
