Responsibilities:

As Music Director

Serve as Music Director for the first half musical. This includes playing piano for the performances. 

Make sure the piano is kept in good condition. This means making sure the cover is always on, and that the the lid is put down over the keys every night.  Since it is practically outdoors the moisture builds up on the keys and it is very unpleasant to play the next morning. Everyone at camp is welcome to use the piano, and most won’t remember to cover the keys when they are done. 

As Camp Pianist:

Provide lively and engaging piano accompaniment for all camp singing at bi-weekly assembly, campfire sing-alongs, talent show performances, and other camp events. Bring the magic of music to life!

Collaborate with campers and other staff members to create musical arrangements and performances. Encourage campers to explore their musical talents and express themselves through music.

Assist and support campers in rehearsing and practicing their individual musical performances. Foster their confidence and growth as musicians.

Occasionally lead group music sessions, teaching campers basic piano skills or introducing them to new instruments. Ignite their love for music!

As a Counselor:

Act as a positive role model and mentor for campers, fostering a supportive and inclusive camp community. Help create lasting memories for campers!

Engage and participate in camp activities and team-building exercises. Foster a sense of belonging and fun for all campers.

Supervise and ensure the safety of campers during all camp activities, including meal times, overnight stays, and off-site excursions. Their safety is our priority!

Qualifications:

Proficient piano skills and the ability to read sheet music, with a diverse repertoire. Show off your versatility in playing various genres!

Prior experience working with children, such as teaching music lessons or leading youth groups. Patience and a genuine interest in nurturing young minds are key.

Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to connect with campers of different ages and backgrounds. Build trust and rapport easily!

An energetic and enthusiastic attitude, with the ability to create a positive and inclusive camp environment. Infuse campers with your infectious energy!

Perks:

Making a meaningful impact on the lives of campers, fostering their love for music and helping them develop lifelong skills and confidence.

Enjoying the beauty of the outdoors as Aloha Hive Summer Camp is located amidst stunning natural surroundings. Refresh your creativity with nature!

Collaborating with a passionate and supportive staff team, sharing ideas and experiences to create an unforgettable summer for campers and staff alike.

Participating in all camp activities and enjoying the vibrant camp atmosphere. Embrace your inner child and have fun!
