Position Summary:

The Camp Camden Ambassador brings a preview of the Camp Camden summer experience directly to Caliday children and families at approximately 15 designated Caliday locations surrounding Notre Dame Preparatory School, the host site for Camp Camden. Each Ambassador specializes in one pathway—Sports, Arts, or STEM—and rotates through assigned programs on a planned cycle to lead high-energy, hands-on activities that spark excitement about summer camp. Through memorable camper experiences and positive conversations with families at pickup, the Ambassador builds awareness, interest, and enrollment in Camp Camden. This position is intended to create a potential pathway to summer employment as a Camp Camden Counselor, based on performance, availability, and camp staffing needs.

• Represents Caliday and Camp Camden professionally through appearance, conduct, reliable follow-through, and positive relationships with school communities.
• Shares recurring family questions and enrollment barriers with Camp Camden leadership to improve outreach.

OPERATIONS

• Rotates through approximately 15 designated feeder-area Caliday locations according to an approved outreach calendar; each Ambassador delivers activities in one assigned pathway.
• Plans, prepares, and facilitates age-appropriate, inclusive, engaging pathway activities that can be delivered within a before- or after-school program setting.
• Brings, sets up, inventories, and removes appropriate supplies and equipment; leaves each site clean and organized.
• Adapts activities for group size, age, abilities, space, weather, time available, and safety considerations.
• Works in coordination with on-site Caliday staff, who retain responsibility for child care supervision and required staff-to-child ratios unless separately authorized and qualified.
• Follows all site access, sign-in, child safety, emergency, behavior guidance, and incident-reporting requirements.
• Pathways completed visits, participation, family engagement, and follow-up opportunities using the outreach reporting process designated by leadership.
• Provides timely updates on schedule changes, material needs, concerns, and successful engagement strategies.
