Don't look at this question as a trap, the interviewer is just looking to make sure you aren't just staying around for a few months. There is no expectation that your answer will be that this is your forever dream job.
You don't want to lie during the interviewer, so if the position isn't something that you can see yourself in forever, you can talk about how you hope to grow within a company. If staying with this company and becoming their Recreation Director is something that interests you, you should definitely mention that.
"In five years, I see myself continuing my education and growing within a company. I'd love for it to be this company, the core values have really attracted me to your company."

I see myself continuing with my education and growing within a company. I'd love it to be this company though as the core values really attracted me to your company.
Stephanie's Feedback
That's wonderful that you're hoping to continue your education and find a professional opportunity where you can stay and grow. To strengthen your response, I'd suggest explicitly naming the core values that resonate with you (Example: I share X Company's core values of honesty and compassion; this shows up in my work daily.") Additionally, if you were to stay at this company for five years, are you able to share what your hoped-for growth trajectory would look like?
