At Camp Stomping Ground, we believe play is how humans learn best .
Every night, camp becomes a story. The forest turns into a kingdom under siege. The amphitheater becomes a council chamber. Counselors appear as villains, heroes, and mysterious guides.
Campers solve riddles, form alliances, and work together to change the fate of the world.
For 45–60 minutes , camp becomes something else entirely — a living world .
And we’re looking for the person who designs it.
The Job
We are hiring a Game Designer to create and run immersive night games during our two-week summer camp sessions.
Each day, you will design and lead one large-scale game for the entire camp .
These experiences often feel like a mix of:
• immersive theater
• adventure games
• cooperative storytelling
Campers aren’t spectators — they’re the protagonists .
Omg isomg itYou’ll design the world. Our staff and campers bring it to life.
You will design games for approximately: 150 campers and 60 staff
These are large, energetic, theatrical events — and they’re one of the things Stomping Ground is known for.Many campers remember these games for years after they leave camp .
Responsibilities
Design and run a new night game each day of a two-week session.
This includes:
• Designing puzzles, challenges, and game mechanics
• Casting counselors into character roles
• Coordinating props, costumes, and environments
• Directing the game in real time
• Leading staff teams to bring the story to life
• Adapting quickly when plans change (they always do)
You will work closely with the Program Team and report to MK Thomson, Operations Director .
Who This Job Is For
We are looking for someone who believes deeply that play can change lives . You might be:
• a theatre maker
• a dungeon master
• a storyteller
• an immersive experience designer
• someone who grew up loving camp and never stopped imagining
You should be able to:
• collaborate with a team of staff performers
• design fun and engaging challenges
• improvise when things inevitably change
Bonus skills:
• prop or set building
• costume design
• LARP or immersive theater experience
• puzzle or game design
• improvisation and performance
Why This Role Matters
In a world where so much childhood happens on screens, we create experiences kids can step into with their whole bodies and imaginations .
Campers learn that stories aren’t just something you consume — they’re something you help create .
And those moments of wonder stay with people for a lifetime.
If you want to help 150 kids step into a new world every night ,
we want to hear from you.
