What's involved with teaching computing at summer camp?
Camp is the perfect place to start an entry level coding and computing job. You'll be working with kids, many of whom may have no experience in coding. For example, most kids will know their way around an iPad and their favourite gaming console - but they might not know how fun it can be to design their own games. Your job is to help them learn the basics - so if you don't have a computer science degree, it's no big deal.

FAQs
On arrival at camp, you'll have a week of training to get used to the equipment and plan out some lessons. You'll need to bring a certain level of technical ability, but if you already play around with coding, designing, or other computer-related activities in your free time, you'll do just fine.
This is a role where you'll be able to do what you love, all summer long. You'll be able to play with tech every day, and teach groups of campers why you're so passionate about it. You'll also get more free time than other counselors to explore or try out the other activities at camp.
Campers will come down to the session in age group divisions. These divisions can range from 10-30 campers. You'll have the assistance of counselors but it will be up to you to instruct a small group.
