Waterfront Director

The Metropolis of Detroit Summer Camp operates for 6 weeks each summer, and offers two unique camp programs - a week for young adults (Week Zero) ages 17-18 to start the summer, and then five different weeks (Weeks 1-5) for youth entering grades 3-11. The camp accepts almost 400 campers throughout the summer, with a maximum of 80 campers per week. We also hire a staff including full-summer department directors (Program, Arts & Crafts, Waterfront, Orthodox Life, Media and Health) along with counselors, lifeguards, cooks and other staff who all help provide an experience of faith, fellowship and fun for our campers!

As Waterfront Director, you will oversee swimming and boating on our own Echo Lake, running our morning and afternoon activities at the waterfront and supervising lifeguards and other staff. You will also be a key member of the 6-week director team who works with our Camp Directors throughout the summer to guarantee a safe and smooth-operating camp program. More importantly, you'll have memorable experiences and build great friendships with your fellow staff, while serving the youth and young adults who attend the camp.

For this role, you will need to hold a current Lifeguard and CPR/AED certification, with a WSI certification preferred (not required).  In addition, you should have previous lifeguarding experience at a lake or pool.
