Who says kids should have all the fun?

What this job actually is.

As a Lead Playguide, you'll run a themed week of camp for a small group of kids ages 3–12. Each week has a concept — Top Chef Kids, Survivor: Clubhouse Island, Code Breakers, International Travelers, Movement & Mindset — and you'll bring it to life.

We provide the structure: the theme, the weekly arc, the daily schedule, and the activities. You bring the judgment. The best guides read the room. If a board game isn't landing, you pivot to a nature walk or charades. If the kids are buzzing, you channel that energy into the relay you had planned for later. The schedule is the plan — the goal is fun, connection, and a day they'll ask to come back to.

Who we're looking for.

Everything we do at The Clubhouse sits on three words: Play. Connect. Grow. That's what we promise families. It's also what we look for in every guide we hire.

Playguides aren't supervisors. They're in the game of capture-the-flag. At the table painting with the kids. On their knees in the garden hunting worms. When the guide is bought in, the kids are bought in — and the day runs itself.

• Someone who plays. Real energy. The kind that makes a six-year-old decide you're the best grown-up they've ever met.
• Someone who connects. With the quiet kids and the loud ones. With families at pickup. With the rest of the crew.
• Someone who stays calm when a kid is struggling. Who doesn't take a meltdown personally — because it's a child having a tough moment, not a problem to fix.
• Someone who shows up on time, excited, and full of ideas for the best day.
• Someone who loves this work. That's the real filter.
• Above all else — someone who is exactly where they want to be. Supporting kids. Having fun. Reliving their own favorite childhood memories by creating them for the next generation.

A specific degree isn't required. Real experience with kids, a calm presence, and a genuine love for this work — those are.

Teachers, paras, college students, nannies, camp alumni, retired educators, stay-at-home parents returning to work — if this sounds like you, we want to meet you.
