About The Position

KidStrong is a milestone accelerator for kids walking through 11 years old.

KidStrong Toledo is rapidly growing and we're looking for talented, enthusiastic professionals who are passionate, energetic, and excited to engage with parents and kids and make an impact on their lives. The Camp Coach role focuses on coaching children on brain, physical, and character development that stems from a designed camp curriculum.
