What does a music teacher at summer camp do?

From an acoustic ballad round the campfire to a full orchestral symphony - music activities can vary quite a lot at camp. Camps will be looking for staff to specialise in individual instruments as well as DJs, AV technicians and camp radio hosts. Music at camp is a dynamic and exciting department, it's definitely not quiet.

For the majority, music sessions will consist of small group sessions learning songs and techniques on either the guitar or piano. These sessions will run between mornings and afternoons but music teachers will likely also play a bigger part in camp-wide activities, whether being the musical director for the theatre department or your very own rock show.

You should bring enthusiasm and talent. In the other corner, as the camp DJ, you should be able to confidently cut and blend music, helping teach the campers to lay their own tracks either on the decks or digitally. It’s all about making fun music and making music fun.

Why should I teach music at camp?

Music and DJ jobs abroad are incredibly fun, especially at summer camp - from performing with campers to helping them progress on their skills - this is the dream job for anyone who loves music and would like the opportunity to teach music abroad.

Camp directors are looking for those who can play an instrument to a high standard, you should look to show and demonstrate your expertise, skill and passion. Having experience teaching, is a definite bonus and you should look tell us how you would lead a fun class for campers at camp.
