Much of the fall and off-season planning can be handled remotely, and on-site presence is required during staff training and throughout the summer program season at Camp Kiwanilong in Warrenton, OR. That said, we find it most beneficial for the Director to live locally — community outreach and a strong understanding of the local community are crucial to the role.

Housing and meals are included during the summer program only. They are not provided during the off-season planning months.

Our season runs from late June through early August, preceded by a setup and staff orientation week before the first session. For reference, the 2026 season ran:

• Castles & Crowns Week — June 22–26 · Day Camp (Grades 2–6)
• Superheroes Week — June 28–July 2 · Short Overnight (Grades 3–8)
• Alien Week — July 5–11 · Overnight (Grades 3–8)
• Junior High Week — July 12–18 · Overnight (Grades 7–9)
• Wild West Week — July 21–25 · Short Overnight (Grades 3–8)
• Pirate Week — July 26–August 1 · Overnight (Grades 3–8)

2027 dates will follow a similar late-June-to-early-August pattern.

The camp serves an average of 100–120 campers per week, and the Director leads a seasonal staff of 50–60 high school and college-age members across the full summer.
