Metallurgy Jobs at Summer Camps
Metallurgy jobs at summer camps are a rare and exciting niche for working metals artists, blacksmiths, and casting pros who want to share the heat, hammers, and history of working with metal. From specialty fine arts residential camps with foundries and forges to traditional sleepaway camps offering smaller-scale metal craft electives, metallurgy instructors lead one of the most uniquely satisfying studio programs of the summer.
As a metallurgy instructor at an overnight camp, you’ll teach hammering, forming, basic casting, finishing, and safety while guiding campers through projects ranging from forged hooks and tools to small cast sculptures. You’ll manage forges, anvils, kilns, and torches with strict safety protocols. Many co-ed residential camps blend metallurgy with metalsmithing, jewelry, and sculpture programs, giving multi-discipline instructors deep creative range throughout the summer.
