3D Printing Instructor, Camp Kaleidoscope, Summer Day Camp

Do you love working with children and sharing your passion for 3D Printing? JCC Greater Boston is looking for enthusiastic Activity Specialists to lead engaging activities for children in grades 4 - 8. Specialists are role models who create safe, inclusive, and fun program areas where kids can explore, grow and build confidence.

JCC Greater Boston offers free bus service for staff from Cambridge, Brookline, Jamaica Plain, West Roxbury, Wayland, Framingham, Natick, Needham, Newton and Wellesley during the summer season.

You’ll spend your day bringing the 3D Printing Lab to life, teaching campers how to envision, design, and print. You’ll plan age-appropriate activities, projects and challenges that guide camper learning, adapt them to meet the needs of different campers, and keep things safe, engaging, and fun. Beyond your specialty, you’ll also be part of the camp team: helping with transitions, supporting special events, and ensuring campers feel included and connected.

Our STEM Lab comes complete with three printers, Bambu Lab A1 and PS1 printers, as well as iPads, Mac Mini workstations, 3D printing pens and other miscellaneous tools, as well as a variety of filament.

At our camps, the best part of the day is simple: the campers. Our staff say their favorite moments are playing games, cheering campers on at swim, creating art together, and bonding over shared interests. Staff describe camp as fun, dynamic, and inclusive. Here, you’ll gain leadership skills, make lasting friendships, and create unforgettable experiences – for campers and yourself.
