Camp Watitoh, located in the Berkshire Mountains in Massachusetts, is seeking an experienced Dramatic Arts/ Theater student or graduate who is interested in expanding their experience directing children’s theater.
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, producing two musical productions, one for campers ages 7-11 and one for campers ages 12-16 and implementing hour-long drama classes doing improv games and other drama-type exercises. Applicants will be choosing the musicals, editing scripts, casting, choreography and blocking, costumes, and sets. The program is designed to create productions that will allow campers to thrive on stage in an environment where we are boosting self-confidence and allowing campers to try new things. Some campers will be skilled at singing, dancing, and acting while others will be novice. Relocation to the Berkshire Mountains (Western Massachusetts) from mid-June to mid-August. Salary, room, and board is included along with a travel stipend. The applicant should want to be part of something more than the theater as there will be responsibilities outside of the drama program to support the camp community. This is a great way to spend your summer outside, on a beautiful lake front property, experiencing an incredibly spirited and lively culture while doing something you love!

Our extensive activity program at Birchmont is run by an incredible team of coaches, athletes, and artists. Depending on the area, our specialists will either run a program on their own or as part of a team of instructors – helping the campers to learn new skills, have fun and develop their confidence and ability in particular areas. Our specialists also play an important role with their assigned group, assisting as general counselors when not running their own activity area. This role is suited to someone with expertise or experience in a particular activity – previous coaching or teaching experience is preferred, but our Area Heads and Athletic Director are on hand to ‘teach the teachers’, and help talented athletes and specialists develop their own delivery style – so enthusiastic amateurs are welcome also! Current specialty areas which we are recruiting for include: Archery, Arts and Crafts, Baseball/Softball, Basketball, Fitness/Personal Training, Mountain Biking, Games (Physical Education), Performing Arts & Music, High Ropes, Horseback Riding, Tennis, and Soccer. Our Activity Specialists typically will spend about half their day delivering their activity area, and the other half of the day acting as General Counselors, so they get to have the full camp experience, while honing and sharing their skills in a particular program area. These roles are suited to current college students or graduates with a passion for their chosen activity.
