campmaster

Outdoor program leader

A campmaster is the person in charge of running a camp, typically a summer camp or organized outdoor program.

The role involves overseeing daily operations, managing staff, and ensuring camper safety and welfare.

The campmaster gathered everyone for the morning flag ceremony.

The term appears more in older or traditional camping contexts; modern equivalents include camp director or camp administrator.
