Camp Instructor

Byte Camp is a creative technology camp that offers programs to groups of 12 kids in one or more of the following topics each week: 3D Modelling / Animation, 2D Graphics and Game Design, Clay Animation, Music and Video Production, Web Design, and 3D Game Design. We promote a tech/health balance with 3 outdoor breaks in every day of camp. Each student in our program takes home their finished project at the end of the week, and our goal is to give them the best week of summer

Instructors are temporary, full-time employees who typically work between 35-40 hours per week between June 21 - September 2, 2023. Contracts range between 7-11 weeks, so instructors can expect 1-3 weeks off during the summer. Instruction hours are Monday to Friday 9:00 am - 4:00 pm with 30 minutes of set up and take down of equipment at 8:30am and 4:30pm. We do not expect all instructors to be well versed in every program offered.
