Site Director, Yankees Baseball Summer Camps:

The Position

New York Yankees Baseball Camps deliver summer baseball experiences that kids can't get at any other summer camp. Designed for ages 5-13, at Yankees Camps, young fans learn the game, celebrate Yankees traditions, and feel the magic of being part of the New York Yankees family. Each day blends baseball joy, Big League moments, and unforgettable memories - all designed with intention. Campers build confidence, form friendships, and get exclusive access to the energy, history, and culture of the Yankees.

As the Site Director, you are responsible for delivering high-quality, intentional weeks of camp that reflect New York Yankees tradition, Headfirst standards, and a fan-first approach to programming. You oversee daily operations, lead and support your on-site leadership team and coaches, and make real-time decisions that keep camp running smoothly and safely.

Beyond structure and logistics, Site Directors are the spark behind the experience. You set the tone each week by bringing professionalism, positive energy, and genuine Yankees pride while leaning into creativity and play. You help turn ordinary camp days into Big League moments by introducing traditions, building excitement, and helping campers feel like they are truly part of the team.

From arrival to dismissal, you sweat the details, support your staff, and help create the kind of camp experience kids talk about long after the week ends.
