WORK AT CAMP

Our unit heads help our counselors grow while ensuring campers receive the highest-quality care! Unit Heads supervise 15-20 counselors in a unit and work closely with the community care team to support and guide campers and staff. The Unit Head works to build community at camp, both among campers and among staff, and holds campers and staff accountable to our community's values and mission. They play an active role in camp life with campers and staff. They can be found doing everything from helping with Nikayon (daily cleanup) to supporting a camper or staff member through a challenging moment at camp, to actively participating in and planning evening programs and camp activities related to their camper or staff unit.

Sci-Tech & Arts is looking for talented and enthusiastic individuals passionate about STEM or Creative Arts and education to serve as Instructors for our core Majors! If you want to spend the summer working with inquisitive, creative children in an exciting environment, this is the experience for you! Instructors will teach campers aged 9-17 with beginning-to-intermediate knowledge of the subject they're learning at camp. Instructors should have experience working in the field or at least a bachelor’s degree in Education or a field relevant to the major they're teaching. Ideally, they have experience teaching or working with children or in an educational environment (informal or formal). Curriculum writing experience is preferred but not required, as we'll provide mentorship from education professionals every step of the way.

Check out our Majors to learn more about what you could teach this summer!

JEWISH LIFE LEADERSHIP

Jewish Life leadership team members coordinate all Jewish Life at camp, especially musical and ritual moments, in partnership with faculty and the Head Songleader. Shabbat services (which involve heavy camper participation and creativity), B Mitzvah tutoring, daily rituals (like Boker Big Bang and Siyyum), and integrating Jewish education into specialty areas and chugim (electives) are just a few of the ways our Jewish Life leadership team members bring RUACH (spirit) to Jewish Learning at Sci-Tech & Arts. 

HEAD SONGLEADER

The Head Songleader is a dynamic, high-energy leader who fosters community, tradition, and camp spirit through interactive music and singing programs. This role involves planning and directing all large-group song sessions, coordinating music for special camp rituals, and coaching and/or supervising younger or less experienced songleaders in partnership with other Jewish Life leadership team members and visiting faculty.

Songleaders (outside of the Head Songleader) have additional responsibilities at camp beyond songleading. Check out the counselor description for more info!
