Camp Facilities Manager

About Us

YMCA Camp Shaver has been in operation as a summer camp since 1945 serving youth from all over New Mexico. We are a rustic facility with open air cabins for campers and staff. Our goals are to allow our campers to push themselves outside their comfort zones by making friends or trying something new. We also encourage them to learn about serving the communities that they live in through service projects. We have to have a great facility to make this happen.

Job Overview
The Camp Facilities Manager is a role that helps keep our rustic summer camp in a functional and welcoming state for both our campers and other staff members. You will be tasked with two main responsibilities: keeping our facilities functioning/maintained, and supervising cabins of campers (with their counselors) in various simple service projects around camp.

Your goal is to make our home inviting to those joining us for 1 - 10 weeks, with an eye toward the future and possible concerns or opportunities that may arise in terms of managing our property.

This is a seasonal position: Start Date and End date are negotiable but we serve campers from May 25-Aug 8 and will need to be providing support onsite during this time frame.

Responsibilities

• Maintain camp facilities in working condition: Bathhouse, Office, Kitchen, Infirmary, Cabins, etc.
• Plan and help oversee service projects for campers aged 7-16 in groups by their ages.
• Ensure compliance with safety regulations and standards.
• Conduct regular inspections of facilities to identify maintenance needs.
• Communicate with Camp Director and other staff about needs and any hazards as they arise.
• Maintain accurate records of repairs, maintenance schedules, and inventory management.
• Collaborate with staff to develop programs that enhance the camp experience for participants, primarily focusing on service projects.
• Provide training and support to staff on safety protocols and equipment usage as needed.
• Prep tools/materials for any projects and keep accurate inventory of our supplies.

Skills

• Proficient in basic plumbing, electrical, building repair and maintenance.
• Able to instruct campers/staff on how to do simple projects around camp.
• Experience researching and applying knowledge as needed for projects.
• Leadership skills with the ability to create a safe environment during camper/staff service projects.
• Knowledge of basic appliance repair (stoves/ovens, washer/dryer, window ac units etc.)
• Facilities management experience or willingness to learn to ensure optimal functioning of all camp resources.

Camp is a constantly evolving environment, and we are located in a beautiful area of the Jemez Mtns, but this means that maintenance and preparation is essential. Our facility has been in operation since 1945 and has a complex history of buildings/renovations and updates that has left it in a place that needs a lot of care. We don't expect you to know how to fix everything but we do need you to be flexible and learn as you go if you lack the skills at the start.

Our goal is to provide all of our campers and staff with an experience that will last them a lifetime. As a childcare facility that is located primarily in the outdoors this requires us to be constantly checking that we are keeping them happy and healthy through proper cleaning of our facilities, and maintenance of anything that breaks or malfunctions quickly.
