Ceramics Instructor - Summer Camp Job
Spend your summer being creative and having fun at Camp Towanda!
Camp Towanda is the premier co-ed, 7 week sleep-away camp for children ages 7-17. We offer a well rounded program of activities from sports, to the waterfront, Outdoor Adventure and the Arts.
Camp Towanda is looking for an experienced, enthusiastic and diligent ceramics teacher to work in our beautiful Arts & Crafts facility, helping campers ages 7-17, explore and produce a variety of creative projects. Our Arts & Crafts program includes drawing, painting, paper mache, leatherwork, jewelry-making, ceramics, pottery, glass fusion and woodworking. While there may be 20-40 campers at a time in Arts & Crafts, there will only be 8-10 in the ceramic area at once. Ceramics Specialists must know how to work an electric kiln, teach hand building and wheel work, and have knowledge of glazes. This is a great way to develop your teaching skills, share your passion and join a fun, collaborative team!
Ceramics Instructors also work with the campers as a counselor, living in a cabin with campers and other co-counselors. Working at Camp Towanda as a counselor provides hands-on experience and leadership opportunities, while building skills that hiring managers are looking for, such as flexibility, adaptability, initiative, self-direction, social and cross-cultural skills, productivity, accountability, leadership and responsibility.
Job Requirements:
- Available mid-June thru mid-August.
- Knowledge of how to work a kiln, pottery wheel and clay.
- Candidates are required to complete at least one year of college
