ABOUT CAMP POTLATCH

Located on acres along the picturesque shores of Howe Sound, Camp Potlatch is a rustic wilderness site that provides a natural gateway into the rugged landscape of British Columbia’s South Coast. Sandy beaches and unspoiled hiking territory create an idyllic environment to work, explore and play! Even though it is less than an hour from Vancouver, the camp is truly isolated in pristine wilderness and is only accessible by boat. Wildlife sightings include – but are not limited to – whales, seals, porpoises, bears, and bald eagles! Adventure starts here!

Camp Potlatch staff work to provide campers (children and youth ages 7-16) a fun, safe camping experience with a variety of programs including canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing, archery, etc., as well as a 24-hour out-trip, either by land or by sea, where campers can sleep under the stars and help prepare their own meals.

At Camp Potlatch, we believe that every kid is amazing and capable of incredible things. We recognize that it’s the relationships fostered between our campers and staff team which empower children to be their best person.

ABOUT THIS POSITION

The Program Director is responsible for infusing the fun into all aspects of Camp Potlatch’s overnight summer programs. The ideal candidate for this position is organized, creative, enthusiastic, and able to see the big picture. Overseeing the Area Heads, the Program Director ensures campers experience age appropriate and engaging activities that provide opportunities for campers to grow and develop certain skills. The Program Director has experience in facilitating all programs Camp Potlatch offers: arts-based programming, canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing, team-building activities, archery, hiking, fire building, and shelter building.

The Program Director is expected to be present and highly visible around camp. This person will occasionally run programs throughout the day and provide daily feedback to both Area Heads and Cabin Leaders assigned to work in each area. Other duties include providing quality programs during the boat ride to and from camp, creating meal skits and evening programs in collaboration with the Area Heads, as well as running meals and campfires. Must be willing to dress up and take part in all camp-wide programming.
