We are a co-ed overnight All-Elective Summer Arts Camp for children ages 8-16 in Washington Maine. We offer the campers an array of all elective arts-based programs which the staff help instruct/supervise. We are located on a lake and have swimming and boating activities offered as well. The Camp has been in business since 1967. Our session dates this summer are from June 14th - Aug. 18th

We are currently looking for someone(possibly a school Art teacher) to head up our Art Barn. A beautiful, spacious 200 year old barn is centrally located amongst Med-O-Lark’s many art studios. In here, adult instructors teach children techniques and styles in painting, drawing, sketching, cartooning, anime, graffiti and more. Campers choose from a wide variety of media with which to create. These include, oil, pastel, watercolor, pen and ink charcoal.

Depending on circumstances this position may offer adult non-cabin housing or may be a cabin counselor position which would include living in a cabin with campers and having night activity responsibilities, along with a generous time-off schedule. Room and board (including vegetarian, not vegan, choices) included. Only non-smokers need apply. This is a great summer job that is loads of fun, gives you the opportunity to meet others from all over (both counselor and camper), and allows you to teach what you love to do! 

*Some of these positions may qualify for Internship/Externship credit depending on your school. We have had that in the past.
