It is a 2 month residence position from 10th of June through August 12th 2026 in Upstate New York.

Camp Chateaugay is looking for a skilled glass-blowing instructor with experience using flame to join our vibrant team. Thrive in a picturesque setting in the Adirondack mountains, teaching enthusiastic kids afor 5 hours daily. Embrace hands-on creativity using our state-of-the-art studio, equipped with a 200-pound furnace, torches and top-notch facilities. Enjoy a competitive salary ($2500-4000), inclusive room & board, and a travel allowance. In your spare time you can blow glass for your own projects. Elevate your summer with us –where art, adventure, and unforgettable experiences come together!

Also when not Glassblowing, you will be a bunk counselor, who are responsible for an assigned bunk outside of their activity. Counselors live in the bunks with 6-12 campers and usually 1 or 2 other co-counselors. Between them, they will be in charge of cabin clean up, getting campers ready in the mornings and to each meal on time. At least one counselor should be supervising the bunk at all times, whether it be during rest hours or at night. Counselors need to be energetic and enthusiastic to motivate the campers, to bring the camp spirit to their Chateaugay experience. A cabin counselor creates a bond with her/his cabin, mentors and inspires campers, and handles minor issues that arise. A camper spends more time with their cabin counselors than with any other adult on camp, and can be most impacted by him for that reason. We want to create friendships, foster growth and independence, and make sure our campers have the best summer experience possible. Each cabin goes on at least one adventure per session - a trip and/or campout on camp or offsite.

Pay for the summer: $2500-$4000 plus room, board, all meals and payment for any travel
