Arts Camp Creative Coordinator
About The Position
The Adirondack Club’s Arts Camp has been a staple of our summer programming for the past 15 years, continually growing in size and creative impact. In Summer 2024, we introduced the Arts Camp Creative Coordinator role, which yielded fantastic results. We are looking to build on that momentum for 2025! Our Arts Camp consists of two specialized programs: Arts Camp Jr. (Ages 5-7) – A creative and engaging introduction to various art forms. Arts Camp (Ages 8-12) – A more in-depth exploration of artistic techniques and projects. Each camp is led by a Lead Counselor, supported by Assistant Staff. The Arts Camp Creative Coordinator will oversee both programs, ensuring high-quality, engaging, and theme-based creative experiences for our campers. The Arts Camp Creative Coordinator is responsible for designing and coordinating art projects that align with the weekly camp themes. You will create 3-5 themed projects per week, ensuring that projects offer similar results but are tailored in complexity to suit both Arts Camp Jr. and Arts Camp groups. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to submit materials requests once your curriculum is approved. Depending on availability and pre-planning needs, you should be avialable and be eligible for pre-summer planning hours, which will be determined after meeting with the Camp Director and Assistant Camp Director. These pre-planning hours will be used to finalize projects and organize necessary materials. During the summer, you will also: Accompany Arts Camp on field trips or assist in the Camp Showcase Project, which is run by the Arts & Crafts Coordinator (who oversees art activities for the entire camp). Provide guidance and support to the Arts Camp Lead Counselors to ensure smooth implementation of the planned curriculum. We are looking for someone who can build upon the strong foundation set in 2025 and help us continue the growth of our Arts Camp program into Summer 2026. If you’re passionate about art, and creativity and want to lead a growing and dynamic arts camp, we’d love to hear from you! Join us for a summer of creativity, inspiration, and artistic expression at The Adirondack Club Arts Camp!
