What are the responsibilities and job description for the Arts & Crafts Instructor position at Camp Robindel?
Minimum Requirements
The main prerequisite for a counselor at Robindel is a desire to live, work and play with children. We seek mature and reliable people who can be counted on to be part of a team, and who are committed to personal and professional development.
Here at Robindel, our cabin counselors are also activity specialists. This means that you get to spend your days sharing your passion for sports, arts or nature with all of the camp community.
We are looking for people who like to work hard and play hard! Most staff at Robindel return for more than one summer and many find clarity in their career goals after spending summers with us. We are happy to work with you to fulfill internship requirements, should you have any.
All counselors must complete one year of university, or be of the equivalent age.
Arts & Crafts
Our extensive Arts & Crafts program is based in a 3-story building known as the “Art Barn.” It is a great space to share your appreciation of art as well as learn and explore new mediums!
The bottom floor is for ceramics and pottery. We have 6 pottery wheels and our own kilns. The middle floor is dedicated to fine arts, including drawing, painting, photography and more. The top floor is for all sorts of crafts – anything you can dream of! We do tie dye, sewing, candle making, paper mache, beads, looms, stained glass and more!
With your guidance, campers work on projects that can be completed in one activity period as well as long-term projects.
Though you do not have to be an art major in school, it is helpful to have experience and knowledge in teaching a variety of art mediums.
