Before camp starts you’ll complete 80 hours of paid training aimed at setting you up for success as a camp leader from day one. Once on-site you’ll receive training from your Camp Director and have check-ins throughout the summer with our People Operations Specialist to support you in your camp leadership journey!

Assistant Camp Directors are an integral part of our summer camp team. Successful Assistant Directors draw upon their previous camp experience to support all aspects of summer camp. Assistant Directors are skilled communicators who work with kids, parents, and staff. They not only bring the fun and magic to camp, but they inspire staff and kids to do the same.
Once summer is wrapped and you have completed the program, Assistant Directors will be notified when full time director positions are available. While all candidates need to go through the interview process and all applications need to be considered; completion of our Assistant Director training program will set you up for success. There is no better interview prep than lived experience of our philosophy, standards, and one-of-a kind summer camp experience. The goal is to have new full time directors hired by January of the following year. In the interim if you would like to work we can connect you with branches of the Bright Horizons family who are hiring in your area of interest.
