Camp Week Volunteer Positions
Full-time Positions
Counselor (Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm)
18 sought
Being a Counselor at GR!C is similar to being a counselor at any other day-camp, but it rocks! Your role entails looking after a single band and its members throughout their activities during the week. Counselors will be called upon to help with everything from escorting wee rockers to the bathroom during practice, to helping the girls get to their workshops on time and efficiently, to making sure everyone has a lunch. Counselors should be good at multi-tasking, managing the tween set, and being bossy when necessary. Musical experience is appreciated, but not required.
Band Coach (Mon–Fri, 2 hours/day)
18 sought
The Band Coach’s primary role is to help a band of campers write a song, which will be performed at the End-of-Camp Extravaganza. Band Coaches help the girls out with everything from plugging in to singing in tune, from the early songwriting stages to their final dress rehearsal. Naturally, Band Coaches should have experience playing a traditional rock instrument (guitar, bass or drums) in a band and, ideally, some songwriting experience.
Instrument Teachers (Mon–Fri, 2 hours/day)
18 Guitar Teachers sought
9 Bass Teachers sought
9 drum teachers sought
There are three traditional rock instruments taught at camp: guitar, bass and drums. Instrument Teachers should be proficient in one of these instruments and have a broad enough knowledge based to be able to break down fundamentals in a language relevant to the tween-to-teen set. Instrument Teachers work with groups of 3 to 4 girls at a time, and are encouraged to lesson-plan and touch base with same-instrument teachers to ensure that all the girls are learning at about the same pace. We especially need bass teachers, so please sign up!
Part-Time Positions
Workshop Teachers (Mon-Fri, 9:30-10:30 am & 1:30-2:30 pm)
Teach a one hour class to about 24 campers on a special topic such as zine making, t-shirt design, or songwriting. Be creative - we are interested in new workshop ideas. See our Workshops page for more information.
Morning Child Care (Mon–Fri, 7:45am–9:15am)
10 sought
Greet parents, welcome the girls to camp each morning, and usher them as a group to their first activity.
Evening Child Care (Mon–Fri 4:45pm–6:15pm)
10 sought
Bid adieu to the rockers for parental pick-up.
Lunch Ladies (Mon–Fri 11:45am–1:15pm)
10 sought
These girls get hungry. Minor food preparation and clean up is required; actual cooking is not.
Snack Fairies (Mon–Fri TBAam–TBAam)
10 sought
Snacks are usually pre-packaged affairs; we just need help with delivery and seconds.
Roadies (Mon-Sun, as needed)
20 sought
Throughout camp week, campers transport their own instruments (save for complete drum kits), but help with heavier gear is needed throughout the week. Roadies are also used to help transport gear from camp to the End-of-Camp Extravaganza on Saturday, as well as the recording session on Sunday.
Nurse/Doctor (Mon-Fri, on-call)
1 sought
Camp regulations require that one certified Nurse or registered Doctor be on call throughout camp week. It is not necessary that you are physically present at camp; however, it is helpful if you live or work within a short drive or walk from camp.
