**About Austin Sunshine Camps (ASC)**

The mission of ASC is to provide the magic of overnight camp without the barrier of cost. We envision a world where all children have a place to grow, connect, and explore. Since 1928, ASC has provided free, fun-filled overnight summer camp programs for children by partnering with families who face barriers to accessing such programs.

ASC offers overnight camp programs during the summer, spring break, and winter break. Our overnight camps are accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA), which represents the industry’s highest standard. Each year, we provide overnight camp to 760 children ages 8 to 15. Our 8 to 11-year-olds attend our Zilker Camp in Zilker Park and our 12 to 15-year-olds attend our Lake Travis Camp in Marble Falls. They swim, canoe, hike, learn new skills, create crafts, make music, and much more.

During the school year, we engage with our camper families through seasonal programs and events. These programs deepen relationships with families and increase access to the life-changing experience of camp.

**About This Position**

Every year, over 500 children experience the "magic" of Austin Sunshine Camps (ASC) at no cost to their families. But before the first campfire is lit, a complex web of enrollment, data integrity, and grant compliance must be perfectly executed. We are looking for a Programs Administrator—a systems thinker and compassionate communicator who will serve as the backbone of our program operations, ensuring that every eligible child has a seat at the table (and a spot in the cabin).
