Sing Summer 2024 Camp Positions Available!

For 2 weeks every summer, voices raised together in song float among the hemlocks of the Berwick United Church Campground. A wonderful and magical place, it has been the home of the NSCF Sing Summer program for 39 years, each year welcoming over 200 singers in two weeks of programs. The rustic and charming multi-coloured cabins, the wonderful indoor and outdoor activity spaces, and the centre pavilion for rehearsals in the open air, make it the perfect location to sing, to learn, to connect, and to have a great time – all the while becoming a part of the choral community.

Our guest conductors, artistic and caregiving staff love being a part of these programs and are truly dedicated to creating an accepting and welcoming culture at camp where inspiration abounds and creativity can be set free! It is truly amazing what we can all learn in only one week.

ARTS AND CRAFTS INSTRUCTOR

We are currently seeking an Arts and Crafts Instructor to join our Junior Choir Camp Team (camp age 8.5-12). 

As the ideal candidate for this role, you have a love of music and how it can be tied together with creative and interesting art projects.  You also enjoy working with children and have an appreciation for the summer camp experience.   You are an art teacher/instructor or a current Fine Arts student.

This position mainly works with the Junior campers throughout the week of camp but we would love for you to also oversee 1 or 2 art projects for the Youth singers (age 13-18).  Often the individual who manages this part of camp will plan activities that relate to the repertoire of music the singers are preparing all week and they also have craft supplies available for singers who would enjoy doing crafts during their free time each day.
