Job Description
Camp Quinebarge is a traditional, overnight boys and girls summer camp lying on 70 acres of forest and over 1,200 feet of lakefront on Lake Kanasatka in Moultonborough, NH. Since 1936, Camp Quinebarge has fostered an environment for children to learn about themselves and the world around them, try new activities and learn new skills, have fun, and make friendships that last a lifetime.
Waterfront Director On the Quinebarge waterfront, we offer American Red Cross swim lessons and instructional and recreational boating, as well as tubing and a water trampoline. We strive to teach campers water safety skills that will allow them to safely enjoy the water throughout their lives. At the helm is the Waterfront Director, or WFD, to ensure everything runs smoothly and safely. Every camper participates in swim lessons on a daily basis, and many are in the water throughout the day for Boating and General Swim. This means that every single camper is on the waterfront at least twice per day. Safety is our #1 priority. The role of the WFD is to maintain a safe environment at all times, including by supervising Waterfront staff and helping to plan and deliver a robust, engaging program. Our swim lessons follow the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim format, focusing on Levels 1-6 as well as Junior Lifeguarding for more advanced swimmers. Boating is also very popular, and is a mix of instruction and recreation in both non-motorized personal watercraft and our 25’ pontoon boat for tubing. The program includes sailing, canoeing, kayaking, standup paddleboarding, and of course Camp Quinebarge P.O. Box 608, Center Harbor, NH 03226 100 Sibley Road, Moultonborough, NH 03254 603-253-6029 | fun@campquinebarge.com | www.campquinebarge.com tubing. General Swim is a free swim period, during which all waterfront staff, and a few other certified guards, lifeguard the swim areas and trampoline. During these activities, the role of the WFD is to supervise as well as teach or lifeguard. It is very much a hands-on role, rather than acting as a supervisor on the beach. The WFD role is to work directly with campers as much as, if not more than, it is to solely manage staff.
