Info

We offer a wide range of non-competitive visual arts and nature activities in a fun, friendly traditional camp setting. Various jobs are available...

Each summer, 50 talented men and women gather on our Pennsylvania mountaintop to create an exciting, rewarding and safe environment for children. Our staff members are creative individuals who care about children, education and the arts; they are students, educators and artists with diverse backgrounds and experience who share a common interest in nurturing, supporting and teaching young people in a non-competitive, individual choice setting.

Benefits: Staff members are employed for 8 to 11 weeks. Staff members can draw on their earned salary at any time. Room and board are provided, and it is quite possible to live at camp all summer completely expense free.

All staff members attend a complete orientation before camp begins. Staff members receive 1 day off per week and every other night off. All camp facilities are available to staff members during their time off, except horseback riding. The food is excellent for omnivores and vegetarians alike. On-campus facilities specifically for staff members include laundry, computers, e-mail, a phone, and a comfy lounge with a TV/VCR, refrigerator, pool table, and more.

Most teaching staff members are also cabin counselors. Cabin counselors live with at least one other staff member and 10-14 campers. The Farm Arts Camp is an activity-oriented camp; staff members spend only 2.5 hours each day with their cabin groups and 5.5 hours a day in specialty areas working with motivated campers! The Farm Arts Camp is a magical place. Come join us!

ART INSTRUCTORS

Art Instructors at The Farm Arts Camp teach in our 'open studio' art program. Each camper has his or her own schedule, and campers interested in art will come into the studios to begin new projects, continue working on projects already started, or participate in demonstrations or informal classes.

Our art staff's role is to provide inspiration, assistance and materials for the campers who wish to work on projects, and to organize demonstrations and informal classes for students interested in learning specific skills. Our art department organizes several art exhibitions each summer, but these are not the focus of our program; our art staff spend the majority of their time working one on one with motivated campers in a relaxed, creative environment.

Most art instructors are also cabin counselors (see benefits section).
