Description

Are you an energetic person with passions for education, awesome kids, and outdoor fun? Writopia Lab, an award-winning 501(C)(3) nonprofit that runs the country's best creative writing workshops for kids ages 2 to 18, is looking for creative, passionate, and hard working counselors to assist during our Sleepaway summer camp (WriCampia) from August 12th to 24th.

WriCampia is a creative writing-oriented sleepaway camp for kids ages 9 to 18. Our young writers produce all range of works including stories, poems, plays, graphic novels, songs, and more.

Writopia counselors are teaching assistants who serve as role models to our young writers while cultivating their confidence in and love for writing. While in workshop, counselors provide typing, editorial, and moral support to our writers. Counselors sleep in a bunk and eat meals with their campers and provide support and guidance throughout camp.

We are looking for people with a passion for creative writing and a love of working with young writers. You will be working in a hands-on, collaborative, and fun environment.

This is a paid position. Sleepaway camp runs from August 12th through August 24th at IHC in Honesdale, PA and will be paid via stipend. Training for Sleepaway includes 12 hours of training during Writopia full-day camp during the first two weeks of August at our New York City location on the UWS of Manhattan or at our D.C. location in Tenleytown. We are also happy to sign off on programs that offer academic credit.

If you are excited by the idea of joining a community of writers and fostering literacy and joy to children and teens through creative writing, please fill out this short form. (Don't forget to attach your resume and cover letter.) No phone calls or drop ins, please.
