We are seeking an impassioned and experienced Archery Instructor to join our team at Camp Grossman. As an archery instructor, you will have the opportunity to create a fun and educational environment for campers while teaching them archery skills and techniques. This position is ideal for individuals who are passionate about working with children and have a strong background in archery instruction.
The Archery Instructor will play a crucial role at Camp Grossman, a highly regarded camp that offers a wide variety of recreational and educational activities. Your responsibilities will include teaching campers the fundamentals of archery, ensuring their safety during all activities, and fostering a positive and supportive atmosphere. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is passionate about working with young people and wants to make a lasting impact on their lives.
Camp Grossman is set in a gorgeous location on 75 acres of the Hale Reservation in Dover. Camp Grossman welcomes over 1600 campers and over 300 staff each summer. The team is a dynamic group that works to create a wonderful experience for children while assisting them in building confidence and skills. Our alumni can tell you that working at Camp Grossman is an amazingly enjoyable way to spend your summer while developing great skills such as communication, leadership, time management, conflict resolution, and teamwork; valued skills that will serve you well in future jobs.
Orientation takes place the week of June 17th and ends with Visiting Day (a pre-camp visit for all campers and families to meet staff) on Sunday, June 23. The regular camp season begins June 24 and ends August 16 (with the option to work the following “9th Week” for additional pay). The camp day runs from 8:15 AM - 4:15 PM, Monday through Friday, with 3 or 4 staff meetings on various Monday afternoons or evenings. Activity specialists also work 2 additional evenings - either running their activity for campers or assisting with a family night or cookout, depending on their position in camp. While we prefer staff who can start Orientation Week and work the entire regular season, we are happy to consider quality candidates who may have conflicting obligations.
