This includes directly supervising two seasonal maintenance staff, who roughly work early June to late August. The Facility Director will ensure their staff are delegated to daily tasks and projects.
The Facilities Director will be a seasonal employee of Camp Quinebarge, preparing the camp for staff, campers, and code inspection, from late May until camp’s opening on June 25.
