Staff dealing with children at a summer camp is a very consistent team for a very serious objective: take over for a few days the parents of these children in their physical care and moral. And to function well, this team should be headed by a person who has the ability and especially goodwill.
The Director is sort of like a ship captain who leads his crew with passengers during their journey. And not to run the team and the manager must support each other throughout the journey.
It ensures the proper administration of the colony 's holiday on the pedagogical, administrative and logistical support. It was he who undertakes to guarantee the achievement of educational goals and objectives of operation of the stay.
The director of the colony is the first legal officer thereof. It has the heavy responsibility of ensuring the security of individuals and of all property in the center for the duration of stay. He recruited the most members of his team following the directive of the regulation of Ministry of Youth and Sports in force on this.
As for the preparation of stay young is the director who wrote the school project after the preparatory meetings with its leaders and others who participate in the course of the summer camp. It must manage conflicts and negotiate if necessary.
He also leads the meetings with parents and children prior to departure and after return of the stay and also the emission of messages to the place of parents on the website of the organizer. It is the first party of the colony in communication with the families of children during their stay, such communication is direct (by telephone or through voice mail) or indirectly (through the headquarters of the organizing ).
During the camp, the director must be present at the camp of the colony throughout the stay, he manages all staff and teaching staff technical team while having a global view of everything that happens at the center of Holiday about children in order to detect the smallest defects or unforeseen need solutions.
In fact the Director of the camp can not control everything at the same time but it will demonstrate a good "managerial capacity" that is to say, well organize and delegate tasks less difficult for its leaders.For example: a facilitator to control the cleanliness and operation of health, another that monitors the cleanliness of the dining room, others who rotate in monitoring the hallway during the night etc..
It is during the daily meetings that runs every night that the director is more communication with his teammates. They bring him the strengths and areas for improvement of the day. To do this the manager must have excellent listening skills and the ease of making the right decision to face the daily needs of the colony.
