Be our person on the ground at a large summer campus on wooded acreage in South Haven. Most of your day is hands-on: fixing, building, and maintaining the property. The rest is running the operation: planning, purchasing, records, and contractors. Leadership is off-site, so you'll be trusted to run things day to day and keep us in the loop.
