Experience Music
With CAMP SUMMERS USA

Working as a music specialist instructor at a summer camp in the United States is an opportunity to share rhythm, creativity, and expression with children and teenagers from different countries. Music creates very quick bonds between people and can transform a daily activity into a moment of confidence, energy, and collaboration. As a specialist, you will be able to help campers sing, play instruments, create rhythms, compose songs, or prepare performances, without requiring them to have prior experience. Some will arrive with musical training, while others will simply want to try something new. Your role will be to design inclusive activities so that every participant finds a way to contribute and discovers the joy of creating sound together with others.

Teach Music to your Campers!

Responsibilities

Your tasks may include planning workshops for singing, percussion, rhythm, instruments, composition, music listening, and creating small performances. Depending on your experience and the available resources, you will be able to organize musical games, drum circles, songwriting sessions, improvisation activities, rhythm challenges, rehearsals, and camp-wide presentations. It will be important to adapt the proposals to the age, level, and confidence of the group, offering diverse roles so that everyone can participate. Some campers will want to sing; others will prefer playing instruments, writing lyrics, keeping the beat, or helping with stage production. The organization of each session should balance explanation, practice, listening, and moments of shared creation to keep the group engaged.
