What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sailing Maintenance position at Camp Lake Hubert?
Share your sailing expertise and manage the safety of aspiring sailors in a picturesque setting!
Camp Lake Hubert is “skill-based;” we use that term to describe the activity experience. Campers work toward skill development in chosen areas. As campers learn activity skills from positive role models – that’s you! – they also practice social skills, community living, and group communication. The opportunity to influence youth in the unique setting of camp is life-affirming, challenges you daily, and builds a solid foundation for growth as a leader in all aspects of life.
Our popular sailing program, headed by our Sailing Director, relies upon our Sailing Maintenance / Dock Manager to monitor equipment and manage our fleet of sailboats of varying sizes, including X, MC, and E class. The Sailing Maintenance / Dock Manager will also assist in the fueling and driving of various crafts including our ski boats, jon boats, tin boats, and pontoons.
Activity leaders are expected to arrive to camp a bit earlier than other staff to complete program-specific training, help with projects to open camp (including their activity areas), and collaborate with other program staff to prepare for the season.

- While this position is not instructional in nature, all camp staff will serve in a mentorship role and may be asked to contribute to a camper cabin team complementary to their activity duties.
