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!
