Head Of Department - Nights

Division Head

New Country Day Camp is an open‑tent community that celebrates and sustains joyful, outdoor summer experiences where all can thrive. We maintain a proud legacy as a Jewish camp, comprised of a multicultural community, representing and celebrating the heartbeat of NYC. We build meaningful connections with ourselves, each other, and the natural world around us through innovative programming that is rooted in Jewish tradition and guided by universal values.

New Country Day Camp is a 7‑week, outdoor summer camp for campers in kindergarten‑8th grade. NCDC is a neurodiverse camp community, and all staff members are responsible for supporting neurodivergent and neurotypical campers and staff to have successful summers.

Division Supervisors will be responsible for the overall well‑being of approximately 100+ campers at a time within a given age group at New Country Day Camp, which serves a population of campers entering K‑8. They will also be responsible for ongoing communication with the families of their assigned age group and the supervision of the counselors within their assigned division.
