Residency Dates: June 19 – August 28, 2020
YMCA Camp Chief Hector is hiring a Summer Artist in Residence to help organize and facilitate our Mountain Arts programming.

The sense of community that comes with working, living, and playing together provides a safe and supportive creative environment. If you’re looking for a challenging yet rewarding and impactful position this summer, you have found it!

· Maintain a clean and organized program space;
· Maintain and clean program equipment;
· Work as part of a collaborative team to support all campers and fellow staff;
· Support group development and create a positive learning environment for all campers and staff; and,
· Design and facilitate intentional, developmentally appropriate, creative learning activities.
