June 16 – August 15, 2025

Description

FaySummer seeks an experienced performance arts instructor to work during its eight-week summer camp program with children ages 3 to 15 years. The Performance Arts Activity Leader will spend the day running age-appropriate 45-minute classes for campers in the theater and other spaces around campus. The Activity Leader will plan, set-up, and run all activities while utilizing camp counselors to assist. Classes should be developmentally appropriate, inclusive, active, and most importantly, fun! There will be a continual rotation throughout the day of different groups and ages. We hope to see fun theater games, ice breakers, improv, dance, and other activities.

Before camp starts, the Performance Arts Activity Leader will assist the Camp Director with ordering supplies and planning programs in accordance with the camp's operating procedures, themes, and events.
