JOB POSTING FOR CAMP DIRECTOR - DEBATE CAMP
In 2026, Debate Camp is expanding its Camp Director team. We are seeking Camp Director candidates in Oakville, ON who will be responsible for the site coordination for a series (one and/or a combination) of week-long day camps operating in Oakville, ON.
Details specific to each are available at: https://www.debatecamp.com/oakville
Our Camp Directors oversee the implementation of the academic program and daily camp operations. They liaise directly with site location personnel and oversee a team of program leaders, camp staff and interns. The Camp Director is ultimately responsible for the operation of a safe, inclusive and welcoming camp experience for all campers and camper parents.
The successful candidate will have excellent leadership, organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills. They will have experience in teaching and learning strategies for youth aged 11 – 16. The position does not require the successful candidate to have a background in competitive debate, but rather a degree of ability as a classroom educator, a natural manager of groups, teams and an ability to build relationships well with all of the camp’s stakeholders; parents, campers and partner-school community members.
The successful candidate will be able to enrich and support our staff experience, with particular reference to the teaching and learning modules we review with our whole team ahead of the summer. Full details on this pre-camp component are available at: https://www.teacher.camp/
