Head of Lacrosse and Director of Program - Camp Cobbossee for Boys

Basics:

Camp Cobbossee for Boys is looking for a SEASONAL Head of Lacrosse for our large sports program. Cobbossee is a sleepaway summer camp in Maine. We have built a reputation on excellent coaching and sports programming, as well as the traditions and activities that make our camp such an unusual and transformative experience.

The Head of Lacrosse has responsibility for all aspects of our daily lacrosse developmental program, as well as administrative responsibility for our matches with other camps and sports programs in the area.

DATES: The Head of Lacrosse position begins June 5, 2025 and runs through August 10, 2025

Compensation:

This position blends perfectly with an existing appointment as an assistant collegiate or head high school coach position, as our dates run June 5th to August 10th, 2025.

Room and board, as well as travel allowance is provided as part of the position. Also included is a salary commensurate with experience.

Salary runs from $4500-7500 (TOTAL, the really interface has a hard time with describing pay for seasonal work) depending on background and experience. If you have children, especially sons, we can offer them camp scholarships as well. We also offer travel allowances from your location to Maine.

The Details:

-Seasonal position in Monmouth, ME
-Room and board provided, as well as travel allowance. (Our food is amazing, especially for a summer camp)

-Supervise a small staff of 3-4 college aged counselor/coaches.

-Organize team structure, coaching, and officiating for intramural games as well as games against other camps.

-Function as an integral member of senior leadership team. This means big picture organizing as well as leadership and participation in special events, daily scheduling meetings, and most importantly flexibility and creativity within the camp environment.

The Bottom Line:

Though certainly a lacrosse position, this Head of Lacrosse appointment is something more. You would be an integral member of a vibrant social community with ethics (Brotherhood, Community, Sportsmanship) at its core. Your coaching and leadership skills will build lacrosse players, but also develop young people and your assistant coaches. If you are the right hire, you will also find yourself joining campfires and diverse conversations with people from all over the world. We are looking someone who wants to join a community.
