Studio Artists, Guest Artists, and Assembly Musicians

Studio Artists are professional working artists who enjoy and are comfortable sharing their artistic and technical skills with children, ages 4-12. Studio Artists are flexible, energetic, enthusiastic, creative, and able to think on their feet while working with a large mixed aged group of kids at any one time. Studio Artists have a keen ability and interest in global cultural awareness and share their own creative process with others, as well as provide mentoring for our younger developing leaders. Studio Artists must be comfortable leading, be diplomatic, possess excellent communication skills, and present a welcoming presence to all campers, counselors, and fellow staff members. Artists are paid a salary rate commensurate with experience and expertise.

Guest Artists are an essential part of creating the camp community as they generously share their experiences and knowledge of the summer’s cultural focus. Guest artists are welcomed into the life of camp on a regular once-a-week basis by performing or giving a presentation for the entire camp and/or a particular studio. Oftentimes, Guest Artists lead 3- or 5-day studios throughout the whole summer. These positions are sponsored in part through community grants and are commensurate with experience and expertise.

Assembly Musicians are practicing musicians who perform each morning and afternoon during our full-camp assemblies. Musicians learn our camp songs, and bring their own music or cover songs to entertain the crowd during drop-off and pick-up time. Musicians may also work as a Studio Artist the rest of the day.
