Become an Instructor
Being an instructor for Youth Education means using your knowledge, skills, and expertise to develop and facilitate week-long summer camps across our Campus Camps and Pre-College programs. You’ll teach one or more camps throughout the summer, depending on your interest and availability. Subjects range from STEM topics to creative arts, outdoor recreation, cooking, and everything in between. Bring your passions and talent to Youth Education to enrich the lives of our youth audience!
I have greatly enjoyed my time teaching the EAE Camps like Game Design Studio. It was actually a Pre-College camp that I took years ago that first got me interested in what I do today. I love being able to give back to the programs that gave me such a wonderful opportunity and it is greatly fulfilling to help students discover and learn about their passion."
