Sr Director of Operations

Camp Eagle’s Director of Operations is a mission-minded leader who loves building healthy teams, strong systems, and a guest experience that feels excellent and cared for. This role exists to remove friction so ministry can flourish - making sure the people, property, and processes behind the scenes are aligned, resourced, and running well. The right person is a connector and “why” communicator who brings clarity and calm steady leadership to complex days. This is someone who leads with humility, initiative, and a genuine desire to serve both our guests and our staff.

Practically, the Director of Operations provides executive-level oversight for five operations departments: Maintenance, Construction Projects, Food Service, Housekeeping, and Challenge Course - through the leadership and development of five department heads. You’ll drive alignment with Camp Eagle’s mission, vision, and values; run healthy rhythms of meetings and one-on-ones; coordinate cross-department communication; help teams solve problems creatively; and build and track budgets and monthly metrics. You’ll also play a major role in planning and overseeing in-house construction projects, ensuring projects move forward on time and within budget, while maintaining excellent day-to-day operations in a year-round, guest-facing environment.

About Us

Camp Eagle started in 1999. We’re located in a pretty wild place in the hill country of Texas - 1,400 acres along the headwaters of the spring-fed Nueces River, filled with limestone cliffs, woods, trails, and wildlife.

We are all about our Mission. We exist to:
Inspire Christ-like change through, Outdoor Adventure, Authentic Relationships, and Biblical Truth. Our Playbook and everything we do is built around this and baked into most of our discussions.

We operate year-round with multiple summer and retreat-season programs at our 900 bed facility.


Who We Are
Our remote location deepens our community. With roughly 100 people living on-site, co-workers become neighbors, and neighbors become friends. This is a missional community and togetherness is very important to us. Our community is a special thing and is a big part of why many of our staff serve here.

This also strengthens our culture which is evident throughout this ministry and our community. A few things about our culture stand out.
We highly value a vibrant relationship with Christ and serving people out of the strength of that relationship. We’re not just a ministry, we love Jesus.
We know who we are and we do our best to talk about that often to stay on the same page with the big picture.
Dreaming is in our DNA. If you love freedom to find solutions and create opportunity, you’ll love that part of your job.
We tend to value mindset over skillset. Interested in being excited to figure things out with your co-workers? We’d love for you to join us!
Adventure gets us excited. Many of our staff often have the next adventure in the works or ready to join one after work.


What It’s Like To Work Here
On Our Best Days
We brainstorm. We’re coming up with new ideas, solving problems, and planning together.
When we are working together, helping each other out, dropping our normal job to do something different - those are the breaks between our normal work that bring us together.
We play together. We’re sharing a good meal, playing board games in the evenings, celebrating something, playing at the river, or camping at Big Bend.
We’re reconnecting back to why we are here. We’re jumping in on a summer staff training or helping with some programming so we have that touchstone to why we do this. We’re solving a problem through the lens of our mission statement and playbook. We’re enjoying hearing about a ministry moment for how someone was inspired towards Christ-like change through camp.

On Our Not So Best Days
We are “putting out fires”, especially during busy seasons. We sometimes self-inflict this focus on urgent tasks by our desire to dream up new things to serve our guests and sometimes this affects some staff more than others, which can breed frustration.
We can become siloed in our departments during a busy season.
We realize a close community has frustrations along with all the good because it’s harder to hide from an issue when you live in close proximity.
