Overview

3D Printing Instructor, School Break Camps

JCC Greater Boston is looking for enthusiastic Activity Specialists to lead engaging activities for children in grades K-5 at our School Break Camps (December, February, Passover, and April school breaks), including 3D Printing. Specialists are role models who create safe, inclusive, and fun program areas where kids can explore, grow and build confidence.

What you will do each day: you’ll bring the 3D Printing Lab to life by teaching campers how to envision, design, or print. You’ll plan age-appropriate activities and challenges, adapt them to meet campers’ needs, and keep things safe, engaging, and fun. You’ll also be part of the camp team, helping with transitions, supporting events, and ensuring campers feel included and connected.

Why work with us? Our staff say their favorite moments are playing games, cheering campers on at swim, creating art together, and bonding over shared interests. You’ll gain leadership skills, make lasting friendships, and create unforgettable experiences for campers and yourself. JCC Greater Boston is committed to valuing and celebrating the uniqueness of each constituent and welcomes staff and participants from diverse backgrounds.

While being proudly Jewish, we strive to provide an open and welcoming setting for all.

This is a great opportunity to join a people-oriented workplace at a rapidly growing organization.
