About the role

The Camp Manager & Operations Administrator is a year-round leadership position that reports directly to the Camp Director and supports the administrative, operational, staffing, and communication systems of Trailside Discovery Camp. This position is a key professional liaison for families, seasonal staff, and internal program leadership. The role requires strong organization, follow-through, sound judgment, and the ability to manage many moving pieces at once. The Camp Manager & Operations Administrator supports the full camp cycle, including seasonal staff recruitment and onboarding, camper registration, family account management, parent communication, training logistics, compliance documentation, and day-to-day operational systems. During the summer season, this position serves as a member of the summer leadership team, with a primary focus on family communication, staff coordination support, administrative systems, camper information, and camp-wide logistics. When the Camp Director is unavailable, this position may serve as the point person for operational questions and immediate administrative needs. The Alaska Center Education Fund envisions a thriving, just, and sustainable Alaska for future generations. We engage and empower Alaskans of all ages to support clean air and water, a strong and resilient democracy, and a fair and equitable transition from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy. Trailside Discovery Camp is an environmental education program providing outdoor education opportunities to local Alaskans. Our primary focus is on 12-week summer camps currently held at three locations in Anchorage and one in Eagle River/Chugiak. Trailside also offers winter and spring programs and may expand through future out-of-school-time partnerships.
