If creativity is your thing and you’re looking for a summer that’s a little different, Camp New York is the place to be. Our Arts and Crafts roles are perfect for anyone who loves making, designing, experimenting, and inspiring young people through hands‑on projects. Bring your artistic eye stateside for a summer full of fun, friends and memories you will never forget.
As an arts & crafts counsellor, you will guide campers of all ages through projects that spark imagination and build confidence. Think paint, glitter, clay, cardboard, fabric, and plenty of laughter. Alongside your daily workshops, you may also help with camp shows and performances, evening activities, special event decorations and creative problem‑solving around camp. Keep your ideas flowing and your days colourful! If you have a portfolio, we encourage you to include it in your application. It’s a great way for camps to get a feel for your style and strengths.
Arts & Crafts is for anyone who loves creating and wants to share that passion with others. You’ll be working in a supportive, energetic environment where creativity is celebrated and every camper gets the chance to shine. You’ll be a part of moments that really matter, helping children to discover new hobbies and passions and encouraging them to try new things outside of their comfort zone. The studio is waiting for you!
Camp is a place where confidence grows, friendships form, and magic happens daily. You’ll be right at the centre of it helping campers discover new talents, overcome fears, and create memories that last a lifetime.
You’ll build both hard skills (linked to your activity area) and soft skills such as leadership, communication, teamwork, creativity, problem‑solving and resilience. These are the kinds of experiences that stand out on future applications, whether you’re heading into education, design, childcare, or something completely different. Camps are looking for applicants with a creative eye, artistic skill with a variety of materials and mediums and the ability to work with children of all ages, bringing out their imaginative side.
