The last 2 camps I work at give free housing. They usually charge utilities for things such as electric and heat. Well including water and septic for free since it was connected to the camp well and septic system.
I would recommend that you try to make it as a relaxing places as you can. Camp managers work very hard and a well rested manager is a productive manager. I firmly believer of top down leadership in all areas of camp. If the director/manager is happy and enjoying his job so will the staff.
