Job Description
The “Art Barn” Coordinator develops arts & crafts programs for all age levels (7-17) and supervises the Art Barn while campers are involved in projects. This will include setting up work areas for specific crafts, coordinating materials and supplies, scheduling groups and projects with input from other staff, giving creative direction to campers and staff, and making sure that everything is put away and organized after each project. The Art Barn Coordinator will take on varying roles with each group as necessary. Some group will need direction through every aspect of a project, while others may simply need materials and supplies to be ready for counseling staff to lead the activity. Some groups may need initial instruction from the Coordinator for the counseling staff to lead the activity. The number of groups using the art barn during any given activity period will depend on the level of leadership needed, the types of projects, the number of participants, and limits set by the Coordinator. Ultimately, the Art Barn Coordinator has discretion regarding the scheduling and leading of any group or project. Counseling staff is responsible for working with the Coordinator to schedule activities, assisting and managing campers during projects, and for cleanup. The Art Barn Coordinator sets up for activities, leads activities when necessary and oversees cleanup. The Art Barn Coordinator is also responsible for keeping a running inventory of supplies, keeping craft materials and equipment operative and noting items to reorder. The Art Barn Coordinator should be knowledgeable and skillful in a wide variety of crafts including pottery, leatherwork, beading, collages, lapidary, nature crafts, wood crafts, candle making, batiking, tie dying, silk screening, painting, photography, etc. There is a standard set of activities offered each summer, for which we pre-order equipment and supplies, and for which we have detailed plans. The coordinator is encouraged to supplement these standard activities with a wide variety of other crafts projects, so long as they fit within the Colvig Silver Camps philosophy and budget. The abilities to visually supervise campers’ safety and to creatively motivate others are essential. As with our other support staff, the Art Barn Coordinator will be asked to assist with various other aspects of camp, including supervising movie nights, helping with other activities, washing dishes, etc.Job Criteria
