Job Duties:

We are looking for enthusiastic and adventurous interns to join our team at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences Day Camps!

Our day camp program starts in the middle of your internship and that is where the fun really begins! You will assist alternating weeks either as an assistant instructor or a member of our Camp Administration team! As an assistant instructor, you will assist with our camps where you will be a mentor and role model for our campers by helping them ask questions and discover the world around them.

You will get to hang around some pretty cool children while helping to inspire the next generation of scientists and explorers. When your role reverses to being a member of our Camp Administration Team, you will help man our program behind the scenes while you work with our K-12th grade campers. Your duties will change daily, even hourly.

Some examples are holding one of our Animal Ambassadors during a program, assisting in launching rockets, building bird nests, eating lunch with our campers, and more! Final Product or Outcome Anticipated: : You won’t be an intern-you’ll be a camp hero, learning to create unforgettable, positive
