What Are Singing Jobs at Summer Camp?
Singing Jobs at Summer Camps
Singing jobs at summer camps are a wonderful fit for working vocalists, voice teachers, and music students who love mentoring young singers. From traditional sleepaway camps with classic campfire singalongs and weekly cabarets to specialty performing arts residential camps running full choirs and musical theater programs, singing instructors create some of the most heartfelt moments of every camper’s summer.
As a singing instructor at an overnight camp, you’ll teach vocal technique, breath support, harmony, ear training, and performance while running daily lessons, ensemble rehearsals, and showcases. You’ll partner with piano, drama, and music staff on cross-program productions and concerts. Many co-ed residential camps run robust vocal programs spanning solo work, ensembles, and musical theater, giving multi-discipline instructors a varied and rewarding summer.
