The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with Camp
Jabberwocky in the search for an Executive Director.
Reporting to the Board of Trustees, the Executive Director, only
the second in the history of Camp Jabberwocky, will carry on the
can-do spirit of Camp Jabberwocky while setting a standard
for management professionalism and accountability for all areas of
the Camp. The Executive Director will oversee all Camp activities
including Camp programming; recruitment, hiring, and training of
all Camp staff; budget and finance; and development, marketing, and
public relations—all in a manner consistent with Camp’s mission and
policies. A critical convener of, and participant in, the Board of
Trustees and its committees, the Executive Director will have input
into all Camp policies including its long term financial and
strategic planning processes. The Executive Director will live on
Martha’s Vineyard from mid-June through mid-September to oversee
Camp and all Camp programming. During this period, the Executive
Director will be on call at all times. Camp owns a beautiful home,
steps away from Camp property, which is the summer residence of the
Executive Director. During the off-season, the Executive Director
may reside where they wish, including in the Camp’s Vineyard home,
while maintaining full-time focus on Camp’s off-season
priorities.
Camp Jabberwocky exists to provide a residential summer camp for
people living with disabilities. It provides recreation and
enrichment for campers by creating a supportive environment that
promotes the fulfillment of human potential and fosters
independence and self-determination. Through this mission, Camp
Jabberwocky seeks to enlarge the Camp community and to promote the
Jabberwocky philosophy of volunteerism wherever possible.
Summer Camp, which runs from the end of June to the end of August,
offers children and adults living with a range of disabilities the
chance to enjoy the summer in a small, family-like community.
Campers enjoy days filled with adventurous activities and
experiences that are safe, empowering, exciting, and fun—both on
the beautiful campus and out and about in the Martha’s Vineyard
community. One of the most unique, and special, features of Camp
Jabberwocky is that campers never age out. Some campers started at
five years old, and still return each summer well into their
sixties. And Camp Jabberwocky is entirely free and open to anyone
regardless of their ability to pay.
But Camp Jabberwocky is not just for individuals living with
disabilities. It also hosts Family Camps that provide families with
a child or family member living with disabilities the opportunity
to participate in a weekend camp. The goal and purpose of these
weekends are to share the love and joy of Camp. Families challenge
themselves with fun and exciting outings, supported by the amazing
Camp Jabberwocky volunteers. Eight to ten families come together to
share the Camp experience and participate in activities like
singing songs around the campfire and days at the
beach.
Possibly the most amazing part of Camp Jabberwocky is that it is
run almost entirely by volunteers. Each year, over 170 nurses,
doctors, cooks, program specialists, and direct care providers all
volunteer their time to make Camp a memorable experience for its
extra special guests.
At least five years of leadership experience within a nonprofit
organization of similar size and scope that includes fundraising
and oversight of staff is required for this position. All
applications must be accompanied by a cover letter and résumé.
Cover letters should be responsive to the mission of Camp
Jabberwocky as well as the responsibilities and qualifications
stated in the prospectus.
The salary range for this position is $90,000 to $120,000
annually.
