Responsibilities

Get ready to learn how to run a summer camp! Before the day camp starts, you will get an in-depth look at the fun activities, crafts, and curriculum our campers will enjoy this summer

During this time, you will become familiar with the camp program, our procedures, and how to assist our instructors during camp

Our day camp program starts in the middle of your internship and that is where the fun really begins!

You will assist alternating weeks either as an assistant instructor or a member of our Camp Administration team!

As an assistant instructor, you will assist with our camps where you will be a mentor and role model for our campers by helping them ask questions and discover the world around them

You will get to hang around some pretty cool children while helping to inspire the next generation of scientists and explorers

When your role reverses to being a member of our Camp Administration Team, you will help man our program behind the scenes while you work with our K-12th grade campers

Your duties will change daily, even hourly

Some examples are holding one of our Animal Ambassadors during a program, assisting in launching rockets, building bird nests, eating lunch with our campers, and more!

You won’t be an intern-you’ll be a camp hero, learning to create unforgettable, positive experiences for our campers

Along the way, you’ll become a pro at informal education and curriculum-based content

You’ll also sharpen your communication skills and pick up some essential office admin know-how, all while helping to run our fast-pasted educational program
