Experience Performing Arts
With CAMP SUMMERS USA

Working as a performing arts specialist instructor at a summer camp in the United States will allow you to turn the stage into a space of imagination, confidence, and togetherness. During the summer, you will help children and teenagers discover theater, body expression, acting, singing, movement, and show production in an energetic, international environment. Many campers arrive eager to perform, while others need a safe space to overcome their shyness and express themselves for the first time. Your job will be to support both profiles, creating participative activities where everyone can contribute something. Rather than aiming for a perfect performance, you will help build creative experiences that boost self-esteem and teamwork.

Teach Performing Arts at a Camp!

Responsibilities

As a specialist, you will be able to plan improvisation games, vocal exercises, body expression dynamics, character creation, scene readings, rehearsals, simple choreography, and staging workshops. Depending on the camp, you might also collaborate on evening talent shows, plays, festivals, themed shows, or end-of-season presentations. You will need to adapt the proposals to different ages and skill levels, explaining activities clearly and providing options so that everyone can participate. Some groups will enjoy preparing a full performance; others will respond better to short, creative games. Your ability to structure sessions, assign roles, maintain the pace, and celebrate progress will be key to making the process entertaining and accessible.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Profiles with experience in theater, dance, music, acting, production, arts education, or youth entertainment are valued, although specific requirements depend on each program. Creativity, patience, leadership skills, and a positive attitude are also essential. This experience will allow you to communicate in English every day, work with people from different countries, and develop transferable skills for many professional fields: public speaking, team coordination, project planning, and problem-solving. If you enjoy inspiring others and are passionate about the performing arts, working as a performing arts instructor at an American summer camp can be an extraordinary way to experience a different kind of summer.

SAFETY FIRST

Performing arts teach skills that go far beyond the stage. Campers can improve their communication, listening, creativity, and ability to collaborate with others. They also learn to speak in front of a group, accept different ideas, remember instructions, and take responsibility for a shared task. As an instructor, you will have the opportunity to encourage those who doubt themselves and recognize the value of every contribution—from the camper playing a lead role to the one helping with music, costumes, or scenery. Creating a respectful environment is essential: every child must feel that they can try, make mistakes, and try again without fear of being judged. That confidence can become one of the most important lessons of their summer.
