About Sephardic Adventure Camp (SAC)
Sephardic Adventure Camp (SAC) is a Modern Orthodox, Sephardic overnight camp rooted in the customs and traditions of the Seattle Sephardic community. At the same time, SAC serves a much broader role: it is the only Sephardic overnight camp in North America. We serve as a central institution in the global Sephardic Jewish world welcoming international campers, as well as campers from across the United States, with varied Sephardic backgrounds.
Job Description Overview
Reporting to the Board of Directors, the Camp Director is responsible for the overall leadership and management of our nonprofit organization. This part-time, year-round job includes attending to organizational matters year-round and in-person, hands-on oversight when camp is in session. The director ensures that SAC remains financially viable, invests in strategic growth throughout the year, and that camp is planned properly, operates smoothly, and stays true to its educational and cultural mission.
This role is ideal for someone who has an appreciation for Sephardic heritage and tradition, has a strong educational background, and understands how to lead a small but complex nonprofit organization in partnership with a Board. (Need not be of Sephardic heritage to apply.)
