The posting

PRIMARY PURPOSE

The Overnight Camp Director shall serve The Navigators and fulfill the responsibilities listed below in the spirit of The Navigators calling, values and purpose: To advance the Gospel of Jesus and His kingdom into the nations through spiritual generations of laborers living and discipling among the lost.

This role is responsible for the health, quality, and long-term growth of Eagle Lake’s overnight ministry. As the primary relationship owner for camp families, the Director brings hospitality, care, spiritual formation, and program quality into one seamless, mission-driven experience, and owns camper retention, family engagement, and curriculum strategy in direct partnership with the Day Camps Director (as a peer, not a supervisor).

This role is required to live on-site at Overnight Camp for the full duration of the summer camping season, serving as the senior leader on-site and the final decision-maker on significant operational, safety, and guest-experience matters while empowering other leaders to make good decisions within their own areas. Success is measured by camper and parent satisfaction, family retention and multi-year engagement, meaningful spiritual formation, and the overall excellence of the overnight camp experience.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS

Camper, Family & Program Experience Responsibilities (40%)

  • Champion camper safety, spiritual growth, well-being, and joy throughout the overnight camp experience.

  • Provide oversight and leadership to functional teams at overnight camp, ensuring mission-aligned and high-quality execution.
  • Partner with the Director of Facilities to ensure the camp property is guest-ready at all times.
  • Partner with the Safety & Equipment Specialist to ensure camper safety and accreditation/licensing compliance for overnight programming.
  • Hold direct oversight of staffing decisions for the kitchen and medical teams (seasonal Kitchen Manager and Medical/Health Coordinator positions run day-to-day operations each summer and report to this role), ensuring food service and medical care meet the standard families expect as part of the holistic camp experience.
  • Supervise and support the Associate Overnight Director.
  • Build and nurture a healthy, mission-driven team environment among seasonal and year-round staff.
  • Ensure clear communication and coordination across all departments, leading daily leadership huddles during the summer to align priorities and troubleshoot challenges.
  • Own the coordination and logistics of staff chapel during the summer, ensuring a rotation of qualified speakers and a spiritually meaningful, consistently well-run experience for the staff community.

Growth, Engagement & Partnerships Responsibilities (20%)

  • Own family retention and multi-year engagement as a primary outcome, partnering with the Operations Director, Administrative team, and Marketing team to increase enrollment, strengthen family loyalty, and grow long-term participation in Eagle Lake programs.
  • Monitor key performance indicators related to camper retention, satisfaction, progression, and enrollment, and use data to inform strategic decisions.

  • Support efforts to cultivate long-term relationships that strengthen Eagle Lake’s ministry and impact.

  • Approve time in Workday for all direct reports on a weekly basis.
