As an Art Lead Counselor at Science Factory Camp, you will bring creative projects to life for campers ages 6–12. The basics will be outlined, and then you get to add your unique twists, your energy, and your “classroom” management skills (the fun kind). This role is about more than art projects. It’s about helping kids explore materials, tell stories through what they make, and feel proud creating in their own way. You don’t need to be a professional artist. Warmth, enthusiasm, and comfort leading groups matter most. This in-person summer day camp counselor role is for people who enjoy being active and working with kids. You are not just supervising activities, you are sparking curiosity, building confidence, and creating a fun, inclusive environment. This role is a great fit for patient, energetic leaders who stay calm, connect with kids, and support positive group dynamics. This camp will move in June 12th--June 14th, with the camp in session June 15th-August 14th, and moving out August 15th.
