Thurber House offers week-long creative writing summer camps for students in 2nd-9th grade and we're looking for a few fun, energetic, creative counselors to help guide our young campers! Qualified candidates will be contracted for one to four weeks of camp depending on availability and experience. It is a paid position, looks excellent on resumes, and is a great opportunity for those looking to go into the education field or creative writing. Counselors are in charge of 10-12 students for the week and have the chance to teach your own activity once during the week. You will sit in on the activities with your students that are led by authors, artists, storytellers, and more and will inspire you to write, too!

-Deadline: March 14 or until positions are filled; (interviews will start as applications come in so you may be interviewed before March 14)
