Sound View Camp and Retreat Center is entering an exciting new chapter as we finalize the process of transferring ownership from the Presbytery of Olympia to a newly formed, independent non-profit organization. We are looking for an experienced Executive Director to lead the organization forward. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated strength in two areas. First, in operational management, they will help us double-down on our current, successful focus on outdoor environmental education, youth camping programs, family camping, and group retreats. Second, in strategic development, the Executive Director will guide the camp’s transformation into a vibrant, financially sustainable, inclusive gathering place for diverse communities that inspires and educates the next generation of environmental leaders. We would consider a proposal from a highly experienced candidate who prefers to work part-time. Sound View is nestled in 100 acres of forest bordering Puget Sound. The land contains trails, a teaching garden, farm animals, wetland, ravines, and a saltwater shoreline with its own lagoon. Sound View currently has an annual operating budget of almost $600,000 and employs 4-5 year-round staff and 20-30 seasonal staff.
Salary Range/Compensation Package: Base salary $70,000 to $90,000, or as commensurate with experience. An additional amount equal to 15% of the salary will be deposited either into a pre-tax retirement account, paid for health insurance, or a combination of the two (equalling 15%). Meals when camp staff provides food to guests. Paid holidays, vacation, and sick leave.
