Volunteer Camp Directors – Camp Quality USA Texas

Help lead Camp Quality USA Texas and create a safe, supportive, and unforgettable camp experience for children and families affected by cancer.

Camp Quality USA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides no-cost, year-round camping experiences, companionship, and support programs for children facing cancer, along with their siblings and families. We are seeking three volunteer Camp Directors to join our Texas Camp Organizing Committee:

• 2 Core Co-Camp Directors – provide leadership for both Summer Camp and Family Camp (fall)
• 1 Summer Camp Director – focuses specifically on Summer Camp

These are year-round volunteer leadership opportunities for people who want to play a key role in planning, preparing for, and leading Camp Quality programs. Camp Directors work closely with the Camp Organizing Committee (COC) and Camp Quality staff throughout the year and help lead the volunteer team during camp. This is a one-year volunteer leadership commitment, with the opportunity for annual reappointment.

What you'll do...

Year-round leadership and planning

• Lead Camp Organizing Committee meetings in collaboration with the Territory Director
• Work closely with the COC to plan and prepare for overnight residential camp
• Help oversee camper and volunteer recruitment efforts
• Work with the COC and Camp Quality staff on camp policies, standards, and accreditation
• Review camp contracts and coordinate with the Territory Director for approval and signature
• Work within the approved camp budget
• Build relationships with Camp Quality volunteers and partners throughout Texas and with other Camp Quality camps to share ideas, resources, and support

Camp week leadership

• Serve as a primary volunteer leader and the on-site face of Camp Quality Texas during camp week
• Direct camp programming and operations alongside the COC and volunteer team
• Help ensure campers and volunteers have a safe, positive, and meaningful camp experience
• Work with the Territory Director and COC to address questions, challenges, and issues that arise during camp
• Support and guide volunteers throughout the week

Who we're looking for...

We're looking for organized, collaborative, dependable volunteers who are comfortable taking on a leadership role. Previous Camp Quality experience is helpful, but experience with overnight camps, youth programs, volunteer leadership, event planning, or nonprofit programs can also be valuable.

• Enjoys bringing people together and working as part of a team
• Communicates clearly and works well with volunteers, families, and staff
• Is comfortable leading meetings, making decisions, and solving problems
