Location and Job Title:

Director of Camp Innovation & Youth Experiences
Shalom Orlando Inc
851 N Maitland Ave.
Maitland, FL 32751

Principal Responsibilities:

This is not a traditional camp director role.

This is a chance to build something exceptional.

Shalom Orlando is focused on creating an exceptional day camp and ecosystem of youth experiences.

We are looking for someone who is ready to step into a bigger role, someone who has already shown strong execution and is now ready to build, lead, and scale something that matters.

This is a hybrid leadership role.
You will set vision and you will execute.
You will build programs and you will build people.

Our goal is clear:
to create the best and one of the most respected camps anywhere

What You'll Build

A Camp That Stands Out

Reimagine and lead Camp J as a flagship, high-demand program
Develop standout camps that attract new audiences and deepen engagement
Design experiences that feel intentional, high-quality, and memorable
Continuously evolve programming based on trends, feedback, and performance

A Year-Round Youth Platform

Oversee and expand:
- Kids Night Out and family experiences
- Vacation and seasonal camps
Build a clear pathway for families from ECLC through teen leadership
Launch new offerings that increase both participation and revenue

A Team That Grows Under You

Recruit, train, and mentor exceptional staff
Build a leadership pipeline from CITs and counselors to future program leaders
Create systems for onboarding, training, feedback, and growth
Set a culture of ownership, accountability, and pride

(Strong programs intentionally develop staff and leadership at every level )

A Culture Families Trust

Build strong, lasting relationships with families
Create an experience that feels organized, safe, warm, and exciting
Serve as a visible, responsive leader in the community
Partner across departments to create a unified family experience

A Smarter, More Innovative Operation

Integrate AI and technology into programming, communication, and operations
Build systems to track enrollment, retention, and engagement
Use data to continuously improve programs and decision-making

How You'll Be Measured

This is a results-driven leadership role.

You will be expected not only to meet expectations, but to exceed them.

Success will be measured by:

Growth in enrollment across camp and youth programs
Retention of campers and families year over year
Staff performance, development, and retention
Expansion and success of new youth programs and specialty offerings
Strength of relationships with families and community
Overall program quality and reputation

You are someone who is energized by clear goals and takes ownership of outcomes.

Minimum Qualifications:

Who You Are

You are ready for a step-up role where you can build something meaningful
You have experience executing, and you are ready to lead at a higher level
You are both strategic and hands-on
You develop people, not just programs
You are creative, curious, and willing to try new approaches
You are highly organized and follow through on what you start
You are strong with people, especially parents, staff, and young leaders

You likely have:

8+ years of experience in camp, youth programming, or experiential education
Strong leadership experience managing operations, including budgeting, expense oversight, staffing, vendor coordination, and hitting program goals
A track record of growing programs and improving performance over time
Experience building, managing, and developing teams
Clear, confident communication and strong organizational skills
Comfort using new tools and technology, including a willingness to explore AI-driven approaches
Experience in the Jewish community, with a strong understanding of Jewish culture, values, and family life

Why This Role Matters

This role shapes how families experience Shalom Orlando.

It influences whether children feel a true sense of belonging.
Whether parents trust, engage, and come back.
Whether staff grow into confident leaders.

You are not stepping into a system that's already built.
You are helping define what this becomes.

If you believe camp is one of the most powerful ways to build community, where children belong and families connect, this is your chance to lead, build, and make it real.

We'd love to meet you.
