Long Lake Camp for the Arts is currently hiring staff for their summer camp.
This is an awesome opportunity for anyone who’s interested in working with kids and teaching their trade, plus you get your own studio space. The age range of kids is 10-16 years old. As a teacher you would also be a bunk counselor, which means you would share a bunk with another counselor and thirteen kids, all in one age group. Camp is ten weeks long and you get full room and board, plus a paycheck.
Grace Johnston, a current VCUarts student, comments on her experience:
“Let me tell you, it was the BEST summer of my life. Really, I sound like a walking advert, but I can’t even express how incredible and life-changing this camp is.”
