I worked for full time for STEM Camp this past summer and it was a great experience. The hours are perfect, I loved my coworkers and loved working with all the kids. The activities were creative and the weekly themes kept up the engagement. If you like working with kids, this is a great position for you.
Many ways to learn and improve your skills. Learned how to teach STEM activities in person and virtually. Really enjoyed the work environment. Great work hours.
A great place to work with a very structured and organized day-to-day schedule. The kids were easily handled with the excellent cooperation provided amongst each of the workers. Staff made work a fun and enjoyable place to be for everyone in the environment.
I started out as a camp counsellor and made my way up to camp lead throughout my years in university. It’s a great place to work throughout the summer! If you love working with kids, enjoy stem subjects and working full time, while still having time in the evenings and weekends for yourself, this job is for you!
