The Pumphouse Theatre is now accepting applications for four (4) full-time Camp Leader positions for our annual Summer Drama Day Camp.
Drama camp activities include the exploration of acting, improvisation, creative movement, voice, sound, storytelling, and playwriting. The goal of the program is to develop the social interaction and life skills of the young participants through the creative utilization of theatrical techniques. The Camp Leaders also facilitate their participants in developing a final presentation, which is performed for friends and family on the final day of camp. Pumphouse Theatre believes in drama education that encourages creativity, freedom, and a healthy sense of play in our youth.
The Camp Leaders will work under the guidance of the Programming Director to assist in program development and be responsible for the overall execution and creation of the curriculum. Camp Leaders will also work closely with the Camp Coordinator, and Pumphouse administrative and support staff.
