At Headfirst, we’re looking for a Camps Specialist who brings strong operational instincts, adaptability, and a passion for supporting teams to our Professional Sports Camps division.
Based in our Washington, DC office, this role travels regularly to camp markets, including those in partnership with the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, and Atlanta Falcons. You’ll serve as a key liaison across teams—supporting staff, coordinating logistics, and helping ensure each program runs smoothly from planning through execution.
From troubleshooting day-to-day challenges to keeping systems, people, and communication aligned, you’ll play a critical role in bringing high-quality camp experiences to life. This is a jack-of-all-trades role for someone who’s just as comfortable jumping in to solve a problem as they are keeping the bigger picture on track.
Role Information
Location & Travel : This is a seasonal, in-person position scheduled at approximately 20-40 hours per week and based in Washington, D.C. This role will report to the Youth Camps & Events management team. Weekly hours and daily schedules may vary based on camp operations, travel needs, and peak program periods.
Schedule: Available beginning as early as 6am as needed on camp days and ending when the camp day is done. Typically, Monday through Friday, with some limited weekend work on seasonal staff training days.
Compensation: Competitive and determined based on experience and qualifications.

For over 25 years, we’ve partnered with families, schools, and organizations to create environments where kids feel supported, challenged, and confident trying new things.
What makes Headfirst different is intentionality. We don’t wait and hope growth happens – we design for it. Our programs are carefully structured, and our staff are trained to spot, create, and celebrate breakthrough moments.

We believe great experiences are built on relationships. Our teams prioritize genuine connection, creating welcoming environments where campers feel seen and known, staff feel supported, and families trust that every detail has been thoughtfully considered. Behind the scenes, a professional, year-round Headquarters team supports our seasonal staff with training, systems, and clear expectations so camps run smoothly and consistently.
When you join Headfirst, you’re joining a team that takes pride in doing things well. We care deeply about the experience we deliver, the people we work with, and the impact we have on kids and families. The work is meaningful, the standards are high, and the summers are unforgettable.
