Art Education Internship

ABOUT US

Berkshire Lake Arts Camp is located in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, about 3 hours from NYC and 2 hours from Boston. Our camp is the best of both worlds for girls who want a traditional summer camp experience while also pursuing their passion for visual and performing arts. We offer 1-week or 2-week programs for girls ages 7-15.

QUALITIES WE LOOK FOR

Above everything else, we are deeply committed to changing our campers’ lives through the power of a supportive all-girls camp experience. We are looking for individuals for our staff who want to be role models, who are just as committed to that mission as we are. 

The ideal candidate for any position on our team is warm, creative, open-minded, positive, mature, self-aware and flexible. They have a strong work ethic and value good communication. We also look for staff who are enthusiastic and have a sense of humor - especially if you’re willing to put yourself out there and be silly and expressive!

DATES & COMPENSATION

Position dates are June 21-August 3, 2025. Compensation starts at  $1,800 and is determined based on experience, plus paid travel to camp. Room and board are also provided.

This can also be an internship for the right candidate - ask us about this when you apply!
