Openings in the Education Department’s 2021 Summer Camp Program
The Winnipesaukee Playhouse Education Department is looking for people to fill open teaching positions in the 2021 Summer Camp Program. Ideal candidates will have undergraduate degrees or equivalent experience in theatre, art, music, dance, education, and/or related fields. Experience in K-12 teaching including certification is a plus. Strong consideration will absolutely be given, however, to students and early career professionals. Candidates absolutely must minimally have a high school diploma and experience working with children. All teachers are responsible for establishing a learning environment for students that is safe, engaging, and constructive. Reporting to and supported by the Summer Camp Administrator, Camp Teachers work individually and collaboratively to create, implement, and assess a developmentally appropriate curriculum. They guide students in the development and presentation of a final showcase performance.
The overall environment is structured, but has an informal summer camp feeling—students and teachers are on a first name basis. It should feel more like camp than school, though our intentions are educational, as must be our focus. The program is filled with high energy, creative students with a variety of experience, needs, and goals for participating. The teacher’s objective is to meet students at their current levels of ability and assist each one in taking their individualized next step. The showcases at the end of each session are meant to allow each student the ability to demonstrate what they have learned at camp. More information about the program may be found here: http://www.winnipesaukeeplayhouse.org/summer-theatre-camp-2021.html
Pay depends on hours (full day, morning, afternoon), experience, and level of education. Average salaries tend to be between $275 and $400 per week. Housing included for those who need it.
To apply, please send resume and cover letter to Education Director Timothy L’Ecuyer at timothy@winniplayhouse.org with “CAMP TEACHER APPLICATION” in the subject line. Questions may also be directed to that email address.

Theatre Teacher - Upper Camp
Dates: Monday through Friday July 5 – 16 (two weeks)
Time: 8:45AM – 4:15PM
Reports to: Summer Camp Administrator
Upper Camp teachers will work with the oldest camp students (age 12-14) for two-week, day-long sessions. These groups tend to be on the small side, so a lot of individual instruction is possible. Teachers work with students to create, rehearse, and present an original theatre showcase based on the week’s theme as well as provide instruction in general theatre arts that is engaging and informative. Specific instruction can vary based on the interests and expertise of the teacher, but Upper Camp teachers need to be able to, through knowledge of a variety of theatrical and teaching techniques, meet these challenges and really take advantage of the format in order to direct and shape the often times quirky energy of a small group of adolescents.

They should demonstrate students’ developing technique as well as visually exploring and expanding on the theme of the week and serving to spark conversation between students and their families at the final showcase. Teachers should encourage students to jump into projects and get their hands messy, but must also posses the classroom management skills to make sure things are cleaned up in a timely fashion.
