Creative Kids Camp- Intern (Seasonal)
INTERNS MUST BE AT LEAST 15 YEARS OF AGE BY THE START OF THE CAMP SESSION THEY INTEND TO WORK.
Camp Format:
- Creative Kids Camp is an arts-based summer day camp at the historic Greenbelt Community Center, a New Deal landmark. Campers ages 6-12 rotate through our Marvelous Mix classes in visual art, music, dance, drama and circus skills, as well as outdoor recess play and indoor quiet time. Campers also participate daily in an elective Afternoon Art Adventure class that meets throughout the two-week camp session. At the end of every two-week session, the camp presents two musical theater performances in the Community Center auditorium, and hosts a reception showcasing the campers' artworks after the second performance.
Job Requirements:
- Enthusiastic participation with the campers in all camp activities is a job requirement of the camp intern position. Camp interns maintain a rigorous schedule, accompanying and helping to mentor a group of campers throughout the busy camp day. Interns who have training and experience that align with the content of a particular Afternoon Art Adventures class will be assigned accordingly when possible. Interested interns may also be called upon to perform in the camp show.
- We seek cheerful, kind, energetic, responsible staffers who enjoy working with children and have a demonstrated strong interest in the arts. Unlimited positive energy is the Greenbelt summer camps’ motto. If you embody that motto, you are a candidate for our staff!
