Head of Basketball - Camp Cobbossee for Boys

Camp Cobbossee for Boys is looking for a Head of Basketball for our large sports program. Cobbossee has been in constant operation since 1902. It is the second-oldest summer camp in the nation, and has built a reputation on excellent coaching and sports programming, as well as the traditions and activities that make camp such an unusual and transformative experience. The Head of Basketball has responsibility for all aspects of our daily basketball developmental program, as well as administrative responsibility for our intramural basketball program and our matches with other camps and sports programs in the area.

DATES: The Head of Basketball position begins June 6, 2021 and runs through August 15, 2021

Compensation:

This position blends perfectly with an existing appointment as an assistant collegiate or head high school coach position, as our dates run June 6th to August 15th, 2021. Room and board, as well as travel allowance is provided as part of the position. Also included is a salary commensurate with experience. Salary runs from 3,500-4,500 depending on background and experience. If you have children, especially sons, we can offer them camp scholarships as well.

CRUCIAL NOTE: Cobbossee will be operating this summer, in person, in the context of a pandemic. This means that all leadership, this position very much included, will be setting the example in execution and modeling of COVID-era protocols and procedures. No room for ideological debate here.
