• What concrete, organized, systematic philosophical beliefs do you have?
• Are you a student of life? How are you so or not so? Be specific.

A little to know about Augusta and the director role

Camp:

• We were in $5M of debt when we took over here 16 years ago. Now we are only $750K in debt and will be clear of that by the end of 2023!
• As a result we don’t currently offer any scholarships. Once the debt is clear, we can change that!
• Our population is primarily from the Bay area, which is the most expensive housing marking in America, and consequently our population tends to be primarily upper/upper middle class families.
• We are 100% Solar powered, thanks to our new solar panel field. Sustainability is the name of the game!
• We are firmly secular
• Camper recruitment is not, thankfully, an issue for us
• It costs us about $3000 to hire a new staff member, because our recruiting, hiring, and onboarding processes are extensive/ridiculous.
• THIS IS US!

The Director Position:

• It is a year round position
• You are not required to live on site at Augusta
• The salary is always dependent on experience and a discussion
• Finance and site management will not be your direct responsibilities
