Paid positions start with applicants 18-years and older (these are our Counselor, Instructor and Director positions). High school students under the age of 18 may apply to be a volunteer with Curious Jane. We require Directors, Instructors and Counselors to be available to the full set of weeks at a given location. Our Volunteer positions are flexible.
An overview
Our camps for girls ages 5 to 11 are centered around science, design and creativity — they encourage girls to explore, experiment and have fun. To lead these programs, we bring together exceptional teams of directors, instructors and counselors. Our class size is 12 campers, with a Lead Instructor and Counselor, plus Volunteer or CIT.
We have one team per site location for the full set of weeks at that location. This is generally a 4-week commitment (though can be 2 to 6 weeks), and you can see our locations here. To see our classes and get a sense of what we do βΒ go here!
