Job Description:
Sound View Camp and Retreat Center is nestled in 100 acres of forest bordering Puget Sound, forty minutes from Gig Harbor, Washington. In addition to mature forest, the land contains trails, a teaching garden, farm animals, wetland, ravines, and a low-bank 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.

Sound View is entering an exciting new chapter. We are currently finalizing the process of transferring ownership of the camp from the Presbytery of Olympia to a newly formed, independent non-profit organization (Salish Sea View, doing business as Sound View Camp). Salish Sea View is currently seeking to hire its first executive director.

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.

The position reports to the Salish Sea View Board of Directors. Although the board expects the position to be full-time, we would consider a proposal by a highly experienced candidate who prefers to work part-time. Work may be done on weekdays or weekends based on the needs of the camp schedule.
