FAQs
When starting your application you’ll be asked to select your top skills. Choose magic. Go into detail about what you’re going to bring to the role and your skill level. A camp director will then be able to assess if you’re a good fit and invite you to their camp.
The more experience performing and working with children you can gain before the summer, the better your application. Look to schools and local bars or community centres to volunteer with and build up your own skills for on and off the page.
Campers come down to sessions in age group divisions. These divisions can vary in skill level, but are usually made up of 10-30 campers. You’ll then be paired with an individual camper or a group, and don’t worry - you’ll be supported by your fellow specialists and counsellors.
