CAMP 510 is looking to hire local bay area artists and/or makers to teach at our programs. We are an arts/maker day camp for children ages 5 to 11. We run like a school day, from 9am to 3pm, in weeklong sessions. We divide the campers into groups by age, each group generally having about 15-20 campers. We are looking for teachers who are passionate experts in what they teach and who love to impart their skills and enthusiasm to kids!
Our curriculum is designed to be developmentally appropriate- it scales in degree of difficulty and complexity
our youngest campers (ages 5 - 7) are able to engage in our hands-on projects
our older campers (ages 9 - 10), have an opportunity to delve even deeper into various concepts along with the chance to participate in those same projects as their younger peers, but with more intricacy.
We have a team of vibrant and helpful counselors who assist in each project and make sure that the teachers, as well as our campers, have the support that they need. Please check out our website at camp510.com to learn more about our mission and approach.
