Job Description
Art Instructors at Ballibay teach in our 'open studio' art program. Each camper has his or her own schedule, and campers interested in art will come into the studios to begin new projects, continue working on projects already started, or participate in demonstrations or informal classes.Our art staff's role is to provide inspiration, assistance and materials for the campers who wish to work on projects, and to organize demonstrations and informal classes for students interested in learning specific skills. Our art department organizes several art exhibitions each summer, but these are not the focus of our program; our art staff spend the majority of their time working one on one with motivated campers in a relaxed, creative environment.
Most art instructors are also cabin counselors (see benefits section).
Key Skills:
experience in one or more of these art areas:
painting & drawing
ceramics
printmaking
photography
jewelery
fabrics
experience working with children
excited about teaching art
interest in participating in an intense, immersive summer arts program
Preferred Major: art education, fine arts
Benefits:
Staff members are employed for 7 weeks, plus one week of orientation. Staff members can draw on their earned salary at any time. Room and board are provided, and it is quite possible to live at camp all summer completely expense free.
All staff members attend a complete orientation before camp begins. Staff members receive 1 day off per week and every other night off. All camp facilities are available to staff members during their time off, except horseback riding. The food is excellent for omnivores and vegetarians alike. On-campus facilities specifically for staff members include laundry, computers, e-mail, a phone, and a comfy lounge with a TV/VCR, refrigerator, pool table, and more.
Most teaching staff members are also cabin counselors. Cabin counselors live with at least one other staff member and 10-14 campers. Ballibay is an activity-oriented camp; staff members spend only 2.5 hours each day with their cabin groups and 5.5 hours a day in specialty areas working with motivated campers. Ballibay is a magical place. Come join us!
