SPECIALTY CAMP COUNSELORS
performing arts
Theater and dance are offered as activities where the campers participate
in improvisational exercises, acting techniques, dramatic and musical performances, singing and
dance including ballet, jazz, tap and hip hop. Classes are conducted in small groups an average
of 3 to 5 times a day. In the theater department, you are responsible for producing two to four
full-scale productions with daily play rehearsals. The campers will have an opportunity to assist
in tech, set, and costume design. In dance, campers showcase their skills in a final performance
in front of the whole camp.
As a Counselor, you will develop a wide range of communications skills in dealing with the campers and their camp lives. A
friend, confidant and mentor all rolled into one. As an Instructor, you will learn how to create lesson plans, develop one day
and week-long projects, set goals and watch the campers blossom. You will learn how to teach one on one and in a group setting.
We will guide you along with teaching techniques, training drills and helpful hints along the way.
This is an excellent opportunity for anyone who is looking to get into the theater or dance fields or wants to further their
careers and experience in learning and leading others. As part of the performing arts staff, you will gain skills that will help
further your career goals in coaching drama, directing, choreographing, working on set or costume design, music and dance. Working
at summer camp is an intense situation where you have hands on experience working with children for 7-8 weeks.
